Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
the creation of a new incarnation of the famous Kirby problem lists.
During the workshop, participants will work in small groups to create
and discuss problems that will provide guidance and direction for a
new generation of researchers in low-dimensional topology. Part of
the activity will be the actual writing of the problems, using a
template provided by the organizers. We will ask participants to do
some preparation in advance of the workshop. This would involve a
review of existing open problems in your area and consulting with
colleagues so as to come to the meeting with a selection of problems
in hand. We will also ask for some post-workshop editorial work in
getting the problems collected and discussed at the workshop into a
standard format so that they can be included in the new problem list. 

The workshop is organized by
Inanc Baykur, Robion Kirby, and Daniel Ruberman.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than June 14, 2023. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
