Conference: 2023 Redbud Topology Conference

该奖项为Redbud几何/拓扑会议的两次迭代提供支持，第一次会议将于2023年3月31日至4月2日在俄克拉荷马大学举行。会议将集中讨论映射类群和李群的离散子群之间的相互作用。该活动是在阿肯色州和俄克拉荷马州的大学轮流举行的一系列会议的一部分，旨在增加该地区年轻和高级数学家之间的互动和合作。它将邀请来自北美和英国的杰出演讲者展示他们的最新研究，以及研究生研讨会。2023年Redbud几何/拓扑会议将重点讨论曲面的映射类群、自由群的外自同构群、格的离散子群及其相互作用。特别地，会谈将讨论这些基团在它们的同调性和刚性性质方面是如何联系起来的。受邀演讲嘉宾有Tara Brendle（格拉斯哥大学）、Alan Reid（莱斯大学）、Rita jimsamunnez Rolland （representación瓦哈卡州国立墨西哥大学Matemáticas研究所）、Nathan Broaddus（俄亥俄州立大学）、Lei Chen（马里兰大学帕克分校）、Rylee Lyman（纽瓦克罗格斯大学）、Daniel Studenmund（宾厄姆顿大学）和Richard Wade（牛津大学）。会议以研讨会开始，旨在通过提供会议主题的相关背景信息和介绍来提高研究生和初级研究人员的经验。具体来说，研讨会将由Tara Brendle、Alan Reid和Rita jimsamnez Rolland进行说明性演讲。更多信息可访问会议网站：https://redbud.math.ou.edu/spring-2023/.This该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This award provides support for two iterations of the Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference, the first of which will be held March 31st - April 2nd, 2023 at the University of Oklahoma. The conference will focus on the interplay between mapping class groups and discrete subgroups of Lie groups. This event is part of an ongoing series of conferences held alternately at universities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, intended to increase interaction and collaboration among young and senior mathematicians in the area. It will feature prominent speakers, from across North America and the United Kingdom, presenting their latest research, as well as a graduate student workshop. The 2023 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will focus on mapping class groups of surfaces, outer automorphism groups of free groups, discrete subgroups of lattices and their interactions. In particular, talks will discuss how these groups relate in terms of their homology and rigidity properties. The invited speakers are Tara Brendle (University of Glasgow), Alan Reid (Rice University), Rita Jiménez Rolland (Instituto de Matemáticas, UNAM, representación Oaxaca), Nathan Broaddus (The Ohio State University), Lei Chen (University of Maryland, College Park), Rylee Lyman (Rutgers University, Newark), Daniel Studenmund (Binghamton University), and Richard Wade (University of Oxford). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers by providing relevant background information and introductions to the topics of the conference. Specifically, the workshop will feature expository talks by Tara Brendle, Alan Reid, and Rita Jiménez Rolland.
