This award provides partial support for three editions of the Tech Topology Conference, beginning with the meeting at Georgia Tech in Atlanta on December 7-9, 2018, the eighth conference in the series. The conference provides an opportunity for topologists from around the country to convene for a weekend of talks on the latest developments in the field. The speakers, selected for the quality of their results, their presentation skills, and their contributions to promoting a diverse and inclusive environment, range from internationally renowned mathematicians to rising young stars. The conference features seven hour-long talks, complemented by three lightning talk sessions, which give junior researchers the opportunity to give a five minute presentation on their work. The schedule includes ample time for informal discussions amongst participants and speakers, providing opportunities for mentorship and collaboration. The grant will help support the travel expenses of graduate students, early career researchers, and speakers.This year's Tech Topology Conference will focus on geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology. These are both very active fields of research, both in the Southeast and beyond; four of this year's seven speakers are based in the Southeast. The conference serves as an opportunity to bring leading researchers to the Southeast and highlight the some of the recent results obtained by junior researchers in the region. The conference organizer will continue posting notes from the talks online in order to make materials from the conference publicly available. The conference website can be found at http://ttc.gatech.eduThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为三届技术拓扑会议提供部分支持，首先是 2018 年 12 月 7 日至 9 日在亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院举行的会议，这是该系列的第八次会议。此次会议为来自全国各地的拓扑学家提供了一个周末聚会的机会，讨论该领域的最新发展。演讲者是根据其研究成果的质量、演讲技巧以及对促进多元化和包容性环境的贡献而选出的，演讲者包括国际知名数学家和冉冉升起的年轻新星。会议包括七个小时的演讲，以及三场闪电演讲会议，这让初级研究人员有机会就他们的工作进行五分钟的演讲。日程安排包括参与者和演讲者之间进行非正式讨论的充足时间，提供指导和合作的机会。这笔赠款将有助于支持研究生、早期职业研究人员和演讲者的旅费。今年的技术拓扑会议将重点讨论几何群论和低维拓扑。无论是在东南部还是其他地区，这些都是非常活跃的研究领域。今年的七位演讲者中有四位来自东南部。这次会议提供了一个机会，将领先的研究人员带到东南部，并重点介绍该地区初级研究人员最近取得的一些成果。会议组织者将继续在网上发布会谈笔记，以便公开会议材料。会议网站可以在 http://ttc.gatech.edu 找到。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
