The 54th Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference - virtual

Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conferences are a long-running series of annual conferences focusing on several actively researched areas in topology and dynamical systems. The 54th iteration was successfully held on the above dates, after its 0th iteration — in 2020 — was canceled due to COVID -19.

We held sessions in:

• Continuum Theory
• Dynamical Systems
• Geometric Group Theory
• Geometric Topology
• Set-Theoretic Topology

and a workshop in Topology in Data Science was presented by Henry Adams (Colorado State University).

Invited speakers were:

• Hussam Abobaker (Virginia Tech University)
• Henry Adams (Colorado State University)
• Ana Anušić (University of São Paulo)
• Lei Chen (California Institute of Technology)
• Steven Clontz (University of South Alabama)
• Carina Curto (Penn State University)
• Spencer Dowdall (Vanderbilt University)
• Andrew Dykstra (Hamilton College)
• Vera Fischer (Kurt Gödel Research Center)
• Craig Guilbault (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
• James Hyde (Cornell University)
• Olga Kharlampovich (CUNY Hunter College)
• Christopher Leininger (Rice University)
• Ronnie Pavlov (University of Denver)
• D. Columba Pérez Flores (Institute of Mathematics, UNAM)
• Michel Smith (Auburn University)
• Iian Smythe (University of Michigan)
• Jing Tao (University of Oklahoma)

We thank all the speakers and session organizers for their efforts! As for those stiff necks — staring at screens the whole day will do that to you — please try to get some exercise in the coming days!
