The 2nd UNYTS was held at the University at Albany, SUNY as UNYTS 2018 on November 10-11, 2018.
The 1st UNYTS was held at the University at Buffalo, SUNY as Topology Day on September 15, 2017.

This is a one-day regional topology conference focusing on algebraic and low-dimensional topology. The goal of the conference is to build connections in the topology community both within the New York State region and with nearby regions.

Speakers

Plenary talks:

Francesco Lin (Columbia)   "Monopole Floer homology and theta characteristics"   Notes

Allison N. Miller (Swarthmore)   "Satellite operators and knot concordance"   Notes

  Martina Rovelli (U Mass-Amherst)   "Limits and colimits in higher categories" Notes

Parallel sessions:

Applications for speaking now closed. We had an open call for speakers, with preference given to early-career participants (students, postdocs, and tenure-track professors) and to regional speakers (from the broad region of New York State and nearby).
