WHITE PAPER: The conference concluded with a discussion of current questions and challenges and future directions. Written comments from this discussion subsequently submitted were assembled into a "white paper" submitted to the National Science Foundation. For a copy of this paper, click here.

Two versions of the conference logo are presented above.  The logo depicts the many facets of the conference and their interconnections.  Each develops in its own direction while maintaining strong connections with the core and being connected with other subject areas.  The logo is itself a topological object, with the lines forming the interconnections depicting knot 5₁. This logo also depicts a five-pointed star, which is appropriate for this being the third of this series of conferences in a four-year period to be held in the Lone Star State of Texas, a state which has had a major influence on the development of topology.
