The PI will organize a conference on Algebraic Topology, Homotopy theory, and its applications in October 2009, to be held at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, honoring J. Peter May on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The conference will consist of a Friday colloquium by a leading researcher, followed by two days of talks. The speakers in the conference will represent a cross-section of established researchers and recent Ph.D.'s from a variety of institutions. The talks will describe the leading current developments and trends in the fields of Algebraic Topology and Homotopy Theory such as those pertaining to topological field theories, higher category theory, and interactions with arithmetic algebraic geometry. Emphasis will be placed on encouraging participation by graduate students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups.The conference will stimulate research in a major branch of the mathematical sciences. The proposed format of the conference is designed to foster the development of undergraduate and graduate student participants with an interest in algebraic topology, by giving them access to leading researchers in the field. The subject matter of the conference is interrelated to many different branches of mathematics, and the conference therefore has the potential to bring about new collaborations and discoveries to groups of researchers in the mathematical sciences. The accessibility of the conference will be augmented by the creation of a web page which will distribute the contents of the presentations on the internet.

PI将在2009年10月在伊利诺伊州芝加哥的芝加哥大学举行关于代数拓扑，同型理论及其应用的会议，并在他70岁生日时向J. Peter May举行。 该会议将包括一位领先的研究人员的星期五座谈会，然后进行两天的会谈。 会议中的演讲者将代表既定研究人员的横截面和来自各种机构的最新博士学位。 谈判将描述代数拓扑和同义理论领域的主要当前发展和趋势，例如与拓扑领域理论，高级类别理论以及与算术代数基因的相互作用的领域。 将重点放在鼓励研究生，近期博士学位，妇女和代表性少数群体不足的成员的参与上。该会议将刺激数学科学的主要分支。 拟议的会议格式旨在促进本科和研究生参与者的发展，并通过使他们能够与该领域的领先研究人员访问对代数拓扑的兴趣。 会议的主题与数学的许多不同分支相关，因此会议有可能为数学科学领域的研究人员提供新的合作和发现。 会议的可访问性将通过创建网页来增强，该网页将在Internet上分发演示文稿的内容。
