Conference on Hyperplane Arrangements

9816607Suciu该奖项将为1999年6月12-15日在马萨诸塞州波士顿东北大学举行的超平面安排会议的发言者和其他人提供部分支持。超平面布局的重点包括它们与数量惊人的其他数学领域的关系，特别是拓扑学、代数、代数几何、组合学和分析，以及在编码理论、计算机科学、样条函数和物理等方面的应用。关于安排的研究是一个相对较新的数学分支，已迅速获得国际追随者，在一个地点召开这样一次会议，使相当多的参与者聚集在一起，是非常适当和有价值的，对于继续取得进展是非常合适的。波士顿会议吸引了来自日本、几个西欧国家和以色列的与会者，以及更多来自美国的代表团。会议的结果将以组织者准备的摘要的形式分发，该卷的电子版将在专门用于会议的网站上提供[http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/amca/cadi-01].***

9816607Suciu This award will provide partial support for speakers and othersat the Conference on Hyperplane Arrangements, held at NortheasternUniversity in Boston, Mass., June 12-15, 1999. The focus on hyperplanearrangements includes their relations to a surprising number of otherareas of mathematics, particularly topology, algebra, algebraic geometry,combinatorics, and analysis, with applications in coding theory, computerscience, spline functions, and physics, among others. The study ofarrangements is a relatively new branch of mathematics that has rapidlyattained an international following, and it is highly appropriate andvaluable for continued progress to have a meeting of this kind bringtogether in one location a substantial number of those engaged. TheBoston conference has attracted participants from Japan, several countriesof Western Europe, and Israel, as well as the more numerous contingentfrom the U.S. The results of the conference will be distributed in avolume of abstracts prepared by the organizers, and an electronic versionof this volume will be made available on the web site devoted to theconference [http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/amca/cadi-01].***
