*************************************
The 2010 Graduate Student Topology Conference was held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on April 10th and 11th.
There were be two keynote lectures by:
Douglas Ravenel (University of
Rochester)
Alan Reid (University of Texas, Austin)
New this year: three open problem sessions (aka Young Faculty Talks) were led by:
Moon Duchin (University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor) - Geometric Group Theory
Tom Fiore (University of Michigan, Dearborn) - Homotopy Theory
Benjamin Schmidt (Michigan State University) - Differential Geometry
Most importantly, there were 32 short talks given by graduate students. Talks were original or expository and were given by graduate students of all levels of study.
We are grateful for funding from the NSF, an RTG NSF grant, the Fields Institute in Toronto, and the University of Michigan Math Department. It is because of them that we were able to provide travel and lodging funding for graduate student speakers and participants.
