Iberoamerican and Pan Pacific International Conference on Topology and its Applications
September 11-14, 2023
Puebla, México
BUAP
Iberoamerican and Pan Pacific International Conference on Topology and its Applications
It will take place from Monday 11 to Thursday 14 September 2023.
It will take place at the facilities of the Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla (Carolino Building and Faculty of Philosophy and Litterture, and Emiliano Zapata High School) in the City of Puebla, Pue., Mexico.
The congress will consist of 9 parallel sessions, one for each area of knowledge into which the congress has been divided, with conferences both face-to-face and online, and there will be 9 Plenary Conferences, one for each session. An attendance of 120 researchers from different parts of the world, and 40 postgraduate and undergraduate students from Mexican universities is expected. This means that approximately 200 people will attend between participants and companions (these calculations are made based on the average attendance at these congresses). It is estimated that there will be 170 conferences, of which 90 will be face-to-face and 80 will be online.
The memories of this congress will be published by the prestigious magazine Topology and its Applications, North Holland, in a special issue dedicated to IPPICTA-2023. This issue will publish those works presented at the congress that approve the high academic level that this journal demands from its authors. In addition, a special volume of the congress will be published in the prestigious "Matemáticas y sus Aplicaciones" edited by the Faculty of Physical-Mathematical Sciences of the Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla. So those who have presented a conference and want to publish a research article in this volume can submit it for evaluation and possible publication.
The deadline to register and submit your talk title and abstract is August 14, 2023.
The official photo of the congress will be taken at the entrance of the Carolino building on Wednesday, September 13 at 2 p.m.
About the event:
In 1991 an academic project initiated by a group of Mexican and Spanish topologists was launched, which has produced many fruits. Part of this project consists of organizing a biannual congress at one of the Ibero-American universities where topology research is carried out, in order to bring together specialists from all over the world to present their research and strengthen academic relations with Ibero-American topologists. This event has been called The Iberoamerican Conference on Topology and its Applications, CITA (Iberoamerican Conference on Topology and its Applications). The first of these congresses was held in Benicassim, Spain (1995), the second in Morelia, Mexico (1997), the third in Gandía, Spain (1999), the fourth in Coimbra, Portugal (2001), the fifth in Lorca, Spain (2003), the sixth in Puebla, México (2005), the seventh in Valencia, Spain (2008), the eighth in Guanajuato, México (2012), and the ninth in Almería, Spain (2014). In the last ones of these events there has been a participation of around 150 exhibitors and up to 170 attendees from Germany, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Spain, the United States, Hungary, England, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Russia, Venezuela. This means, in specialized mathematics congresses, a very good attendance. In addition, an excellent academic level has been maintained.
The first Pan Pacific International Conference on Topology and Applications (PPICTA), as a follow-up to the Japan-Mexico Conference on Topology and its Applications, was held on November 25-30, 2015 at Minnan Normal University in Zhangzhou (317 attendees). The second PPICTA, organized by the Department of Mathematics, Pusan National University, was held from November 13 to 17, 2017 at Novotel Ambassador Busan, Haeundae in Busan, Republic of Korea (263 attendees). The Third Conference was held by Sichuan University from November 8 to 13, 2019 at the Xiangyu Hotel, Chengdu, China.
Due to the covid pandemic, both the Ibero-American Congress and the Pan Pacific were cancelled. Now, that somehow we have returned to a situation where the disease is more controlled and less dangerous, we have decided to combine, for this occasion, these two important events and hold them together in the beautiful BUAP facilities located in the center of the City of Puebla.
In recent years the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla has organized several events in mathematics. Mainly the International Congress of Mathematics (CIMA); also the Summer Conference on Topology and the International Congress of Theory of Continuums. The VI Ibero-American Congress on Topology and its Applications was an outstanding event that was organized at BUAP by the BUAP topology group and related groups from UNAM and UAM.
The objectives to be achieved by holding the Iberoamerican Pan Pacific International Conference on Topology and its Applications are:
1.- Create a space conducive to exchanging the most recent ideas, techniques and results in
various branches of Topology, between researchers from other foreign universities and national
academics.
2.- Strengthen and extend the academic collaboration that exists, in the area of topology,
between national researchers and foreign researchers, particularly Spanish, Japanese, Chinese
and Korean.
3.- Promote projects for advanced students and young researchers in current lines of research.
This is intended to create a source of topics for future undergraduate and graduate theses, and
research articles.
4.- Motivate students to enter postgraduate programs in the various areas covered by topology.
5.- Consolidate the prestige of the topology research groups in the country, and especially, of
the BUAP.
A special issue of the IPPICTA of the prestigious magazine Topology and its Applications will be published where the main Speakers will be invited to submit a research article, and all those who wish to submit their articles to be refereed for publication. The same strict criteria for accepting articles will apply as in non-special issues.
The city of Puebla is located 132 kilometers east of Mexico City. There are buses that go from the Mexico City airport to the bus station in Puebla City. You can also fly to the city of Puebla by changing a plane in Mexico City.
The City of Puebla is one of the main colonial cities in Mexico where you can see the colonial splendor in its splendid Cathedral and in the Rosario Chapel, the pinnacle of Baroque. In addition, the City of Puebla is famous worldwide for its traditional cuisine, standing out the "Mole Poblano" and "Los Chiles en Nogada".
On September 15, some walks will be organized. There will be the possibility of visiting Cacaxtla, which was a powerful political, military and economic city whose splendor covers the years 600 to 900 of our era and which developed in the current regions of Tlaxcala and Puebla. It has some of the most extraordinary and best preserved murals in Mesoamerica. You will also visit the church of Santa María Tonantzintla, a wonderful example of indigenous architecture embodied in a colonial construction. You can also visit "El Paso de Cortés", the place where Hernán Cortés traveled to the great Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztecs. In this place you can magnificently appreciate the two colossal volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl that flank this "Paso de Cortés". On the night of September 15 you can witness and participate in the “Grito de Independencia” (Cry for Independence) in the zócalo (main public square) of the City of Puebla or in the zócalo of Mexico City. This is the most important civic event for Mexicans as it commemorates the independence of Mexico. A festival is held, with music, fireworks, and the famous “Grito de Independencia”, in which the governor of Puebla and the president of the republic harangue the attendees with cheers to the heroes of independence.
