项目摘要

The Tech Topology Conference will be held December 9-11 at Georgia Institute of Technology. This is a new annual conference on geometry and topology, with an emphasis on highlighting and enhancing research being done in the Southeast US. We will have seven speakers, in the areas of contact topology, geometric group theory, and knot theory, and we will have participants from Georgia Tech, Florida State, Sevilla, Emory, Georgia, Columbia, Penn State, Rice, Clemson, and Tennessee. Over the past few years, there has been an incredible amount of cross-fertilization between the fields of surface topology, contact topology, knot theory, and group theory. At this conference, we will have specialists in each of these areas, whose work lies at the interface of two more more of these areas. As such, the conference will be a fertile ground for new ideas in geometry and topology.The main goals of the conference are (1) To provide a high-profile geometry-topology conference to the Southeast that brings leaders of the field to the area as well as showcases the high quality mathematics being done in the Southeast, and (2) To provide a convenient meeting place for Southeastern researchers and students to gather, discuss, research, and interact with leading mathematicians from across the country. This conference will be a valuable learning environment for graduate students and junior faculty in the Southeast, and will help raise the profile of the region. We will provide ample time for the participants to meet, formally and informally, for example during long breaks between talks and organized discussion sessions. We plan to post notes from all the talks on the conference web site. More information can be found on the conference web site: http://ttc.gatech.edu

技术拓扑会议将于 12 月 9 日至 11 日在佐治亚理工学院举行。这是关于几何和拓扑的新年度会议，重点是强调和加强美国东南部正在进行的研究。我们将有七位演讲者，涉及接触拓扑、几何群论和纽结理论领域，参与者将来自佐治亚理工学院、佛罗里达州立大学、塞维利亚大学、埃默里大学、佐治亚大学、哥伦比亚大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、赖斯大学、克莱姆森大学和田纳西州。在过去的几年里，表面拓扑、接触拓扑、结理论和群论领域之间发生了大量的交叉融合。在本次会议上，我们将在每个领域都有专家，他们的工作涉及另外两个领域的交叉点。因此，该会议将成为几何和拓扑新思想的沃土。会议的主要目标是（1）为东南部提供一次高调的几何拓扑会议，将该领域的领导者带到该地区以及展示东南部正在进行的高质量数学工作，(2) 为东南部研究人员和学生提供一个方便的聚会场所，与来自全国各地的顶尖数学家聚集、讨论、研究和互动。这次会议将为东南部的研究生和初级教师提供一个宝贵的学习环境，并将有助于提高该地区的形象。我们将为参与者提供充足的正式和非正式会面时间，例如在会谈和有组织的讨论会议之间的长时间休息期间。我们计划在会议网站上发布所有演讲的笔记。更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：http://ttc.gatech.edu
