Mathematical Sciences: Methods in Module Theory; May 29- June 1, 1991, Colorado Springs, CO

在过去的十年中，许多新的技术和方法被开发出来，以回答各种模理论问题。这些方法包括同调、范畴、有限维、集合论、积分表示和几何技术。这些工具的力量尚未得到充分认识，部分原因是“模块理论”一词所包含的主题的多样性，部分原因是缺乏一个论坛，让这些技术的先驱能够向其他人解释他们的方法的力量。这笔赠款将部分支持将于1991年5月29日至6月1日在科罗拉多大学科罗拉多斯普林斯分校举行的关于模块理论方法的会议，该会议将提供必要的论坛。会议的交叉培养哲学，加上主要讲座的说明性，使这次会议成为研究生和新近的博士以及更有经验的研究人员的合适环境。

During the past decade, a host of new techniques and methods have been developed to answer a variety of module-theoretic questions. Such methods include homological, categorical, finite dimensional, set-theoretic, integral representation, and geometric techniques. The power of these tools has not yet been fully realized, due partly to the diversity of topics encompassed by the phrase "module theory", and partly to the lack of a forum in which the pioneers of these techniques can explain the power of their methods to others. This grant will partially support a conference on Methods in Module Theory to be held at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, May 29 - June 1, 1991, which will provide the necessary forum. The cross-fertilization philosophy of the conference, together with the expository nature of the principal lectures, makes this conference an appropriate setting for graduate students and recent Ph.D.s, as well as the more experienced researchers.
