You are cordially invited to attend the 26th Summer
Conference on General Topology and its Applications, which will be held July 26-29, 2011, at
The City College of New York (CUNY). The first Conference talk will begin about 9am July 26,
and the last will be mid-late afternoon, July 29. There will be a welcome party the evening of
July 25; look at this web site for details as they become known.
The Conference will have seven plenary invited talks, 25-minute
invited and contributed talks in parallel sessions, and workshops in Set Theoretic Topology and
in Dynamical Systems.
All areas of topology-related mathematics will be covered, especially general/set theoretic topology, continuum theory, geometric topology, asymmetric topology, and applications of topology to other areas of mathematics and the sciences.
Set-Theoretic Topology: Alan Dow (University of North Carolina, Charlotte, chair),
Raushan Bouziakova (University of North Carolina, Greensboro), and Peter Nyikos (University of
South Carolina).
Dynamics and Applications: Krystyna Kuperberg (Auburn University, chair), Judy Kennedy
