Profs. T. Branson, P. Jorgensen, and F. Radulescu will host an NSF/CBMS conference on "Spectral Problems in Geometry and Arithmetic" at the University of Iowa August 18-22, 1997, featuring Prof. Peter Sarnak (Princeton University) as principal speaker. The conference is aimed at making accessible to researchers, potential researchers, and graduate students in the region important and exciting current work on the spectral theory of Laplacians and Hecke operators, the Selberg and Ramanujan conjectures, as well as applications to quantum chaos and other physical issues. Prof. Sarnak is an internationally recognized expert on these topics. Despite their importance, the topics of the conference are sufficiently new and background-intensive that special efforts are needed to broaden the pool of researchers able to understand and work on them. For example, these topics are seldom reached in graduate coursework at all but the most elite universities. The organizers plan to draw on extensive contacts developed over recent years by the University of Iowa to ensure the broadest possible participation.

教授。T. Branson， P. Jorgensen和F. Radulescu将于1997年8月18日至22日在爱荷华大学主持NSF/CBMS关于“几何和算术中的光谱问题”的会议，由普林斯顿大学的Peter Sarnak教授担任主要发言人。会议的目的是使研究人员，潜在的研究人员和研究生能够接触到在拉普拉斯算子和赫克算子的谱理论，塞尔伯格和拉马努金猜想，以及量子混沌和其他物理问题上的应用方面的重要和令人兴奋的最新工作。Sarnak教授是这方面国际公认的专家。尽管它们很重要，但会议的主题是足够新的和背景密集的，需要特别努力来扩大能够理解和研究它们的研究人员的数量。例如，除了最顶尖的大学，这些话题在研究生课程中很少涉及。组织者计划利用爱荷华大学近年来建立的广泛联系，以确保尽可能广泛的参与。
