The 40th Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences (SLS) will take place March 5th--7th, 2015, and the 41st Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences will take place April 14th--16th, 2016; both will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This grant supports travel and lodging, both for the expert speakers who have been invited, and for the graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and young professors who attend the conferences but do not have their own means of support. These conferences provide opportunities for dissemination of research results, discussions that lead to new discoveries and collaborations, and for professional development of the junior participants. The broader impact of the conferences also includes some events that will be supported entirely by the University of Arkansas, including a public mathematics lecture each year, and networking events for women in mathematics and for graduate students.More specifically, the 2015 conference will feature lectures by Professor Benson Farb of the University of Chicago on representation stability, and the 2016 conference will feature lectures by Professor Peter Ozsvath of Princeton University, on Heegaard Floer Homology. Both conferences will have talks by ten expert invited speakers in addition to the principal lecturer, as well as contributed talks by participants. The 2015 conference will explore sequences of representations of groups that arise in topology, geometric group theory, algebraic geometry, abstract algebra and other subjects, and make connections between these diverse fields. The 2016 conference will focus on new techniques and applications of Heegaard Floer Homology and Bordered Floer Homology to 3- and 4-manifolds, as well as to contact and symplectic topology.

第40届数学科学春季讲座系列（SLS）将于2015年3月5日-7日举行，第41届数学科学春季讲座系列将于2016年4月14日-16日举行；这两场会议都将由位于阿肯色州费耶特维尔的阿肯色大学数学科学系主办。 这笔赠款为受邀专家演讲者以及参加会议但没有自己的经济来源的研究生、博士后学者和年轻教授提供旅费和住宿费。 这些会议为传播研究成果、带来新发现和合作的讨论以及初级参与者的专业发展提供了机会。 会议的更广泛影响还包括一些完全由阿肯色大学支持的活动，包括每年的公共数学讲座，以及针对数学领域女性和研究生的网络活动。更具体地说，2015 年会议将以讲座为特色由芝加哥大学的 Benson Farb 教授主讲关于表征稳定性的演讲，2016 年会议将由普林斯顿大学的 Peter Ozsvath 教授主讲关于 Heegaard Floer 同调的演讲。除首席讲师外，这两次会议均将邀请十位专家进行演讲，并由与会者发表演讲。 2015年会议将探讨拓扑学、几何群论、代数几何、抽象代数和其他学科中出现的群表示序列，并在这些不同领域之间建立联系。 2016 年会议将重点讨论 Heegaard Floer 同调和有边 Floer 同调在 3 流形和 4 流形以及接触和辛拓扑中的新技术和应用。 该系列会议的网站是http://math.uark.edu/3742.php。
