The Georgia Topology Conference is an annual event which has established itself as a mainstay of the American topology community over the past 50 years. It takes place at the University of Georgia in Athens in the Spring or Summer. The focus of the conference is a subfield of topology which varies from year to year; recent topics have included three- and four-dimensional manifolds, knot theory, contact and symplectic topology, and the calculus of functors. Each year, the conference gathers a core of senior researchers together with a larger group of young mathematicians, mostly recent Ph. D.'s and graduate students. Participation by members of under-represented groups is encouraged and funded; in particular the speakers and organizers generally include several women. The conference format is designed both to help disseminate important new research and to provide a formative experience for early-career mathematicians. Broadly speaking, topology is the study of the properties of a space (such as the universe that we live in) which are preserved when the space is continuously deformed. The subject has many connections to physics and has applications to such topics as robotics and image analysis. This conference is designed to serve as a venue for new approaches to fundamental questions in topology and to facilitate the career development of young mathematicians working in the field.More information is available on the conference website:http://www.ams.org/meetings/calendar/2011_may18-22_athens.html

乔治亚州拓扑会议是一年一度的盛会，在过去 50 年来已成为美国拓扑界的中流砥柱。它于春季或夏季在雅典乔治亚大学举行。会议的重点是拓扑学的一个子领域，每年都会有所不同；最近的主题包括三维和四维流形、结理论、接触和辛拓扑以及函子微积分。每年，该会议都会聚集一批高级研究人员的核心和更多的年轻数学家，其中大多数是新近的博士和研究生。 鼓励并资助代表性不足群体成员的参与；特别是演讲者和组织者通常包括几名女性。 会议形式旨在帮助传播重要的新研究，并为早期职业数学家提供形成性的经验。 从广义上讲，拓扑学是对空间（例如我们居住的宇宙）的属性的研究，这些属性在空间连续变形时保留下来。 该主题与物理学有很多联系，并应用于机器人和图像分析等主题。 本次会议旨在为拓扑学基本问题提供新方法，并促进该领域年轻数学家的职业发展。更多信息请访问会议网站：http://www.ams.org/会议/日历/2011_may18-22_athens.html
