Description

Algebraic topology is a rich, vibrant field with close connections to many branches of mathematics. This workshop will describe the state of the field, focusing on major programs, open problems, exciting new tools, and cutting edge techniques.

The introductory workshop serves as an overview to the overlying programmatic theme.  It aims to familiarize graduate students, postdocs, and non-experts to major and new topics of the current program.  Though the audience is expected to have a general mathematical background, knowledge of technical terminology and recent findings is not assumed.
