Euler Products and Eisenstein Series on Symplectic and Metaplectic Groups, May 19-24, 1996 at Texas Christian University

为了激发人们对数学研究的兴趣和活动，美国国家科学基金会每年都支持一些NSF-CBMS数学科学区域研究会议。每个为期五天的会议都有一位杰出的讲师，他就一个重要的当前研究主题在数学科学的一个重点领域发表十次演讲。讲师随后根据这些讲座准备一篇说明性的专著，通常由美国数学学会或工业与应用数学学会出版，或由美国统计协会和数理统计研究所联合出版。这些会议的某些特点区别于典型的研究会议。这些是：(1)由一位领先的实践者专注于一个重要和及时的研究领域；(2)通过区域重点来持续影响和局部刺激；(3)对质量、广度和及时性进行小组审查；(4)为更广泛的受众出版专著。该项目将支持于1996年5月19日至24日在德克萨斯基督教大学举行的NSF-CBMS数学科学欧拉乘积和辛群与元群的爱森斯坦级数区域研究会议。普林斯顿大学志村五郎教授将担任首席讲师。

9522932 Doran To stimulate interest and activity in mathematical research, the National Science Foundation each year supports a number of NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences. Each five-day conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathematical sciences. The lecturer subsequently prepares an expository monograph based upon these lectures, which is normally published by the American Mathematical Society or the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, or jointly by the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Certain features differentiate these conferences from typical research conferences. These are: (1) Focus on a single important and timely area of research by a leading practitioner, (2) Continued effect and local stimulation through regional emphasis, (3) Panel review for quality, breadth, and timeliness, and (4) Published monographs for a wider audience. This project will support an NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conference in the Mathematical Sciences on Euler Products and Eisenstein Series on Symplectic and Metaplectic Groups to be held May 19-24, 1996 at Texas Christian University. Professor Goro Shimura of Princeton University will be the principal lecturer.
