Conference on Geometric and Combinatorial Methods in Group Theory and Semigroup Theory

这项建议是为了资助一个关于群论和半群论中几何和组合方法的国际会议的部分资金。会议的目的是汇聚几位世界领先的研究人员，他们对群和半群及其与拓扑学、几何学、符号动力学和符号计算的联系有研究兴趣。这次会议的重点是渐近性质和算法问题。这次会议是在群论和半群理论(全局和局部对称性的数学研究)和计算之间的一个领域。在这些背景下研究算法问题，与理解“计算的复杂性”密切相关。会议将于2000年5月15日至19日在内布拉斯加州林肯大学校园举行。将有大约20场受邀的一小时讲座和几场贡献演讲。将特别努力支持研究生和博士后研究员参与。

AbstractThis proposal is for partial funding to support an international conference on geometric and combinatorial methods in group theory and semigroup theory. The aim of the conference is to bring together several of the world's leading researchers with research interests in groups and semigroups and their connections with topology, geometry, symbolic dynamics and symbolic computation. Emphasis will be on asymptotic properties and algorithmic problems.This conference is in a field that is at the interface between group theory and semigroup theory (the mathematical study of global and local symmetry) and computation. The study of algorithmic problems in these settings is closely related to the understanding of "complexity of computation". The conference will be held on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during the period May 15 - May 19, 2000. There will be around 20 invited one hour lectures and several contributed talks. Special efforts will be made to support participation by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
