NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences -- Modular Elliptic Curves -- August 8-12, 2001

NSF-CBMS关于模椭圆曲线的地区会议将于2001年8月8-12日在中佛罗里达大学数学系举行。麦吉尔大学的亨利·达蒙教授将担任会议的首席讲师。组委会将由从国内和国际上不同大学的数学系中挑选出来的数学家组成。会议努力的总体领域是人们非常感兴趣的话题，在过去的十年里，研究活动出现了爆炸性的增长。尽管在过去的十年里进行了如此激烈的活动，但仍然有许多悬而未决的问题和悬而未决的问题，其中许多都是21世纪最大的数学挑战之一。达蒙是一位完美的讲师，也是该领域的主要贡献者，他对这一主题有非常广泛的看法。他目前正在领导一项研究计划，以发展Bertolini和Darmon最近关于将复乘理论推广到实二次域上的模椭圆曲线的工作。他的演讲将有助于考察和统一该领域的主要发展，评估该领域的成就和未来研究方向。因此，达蒙教授显然是领导这一领域专家聚会的最佳人选。

An NSF-CBMS Regional Conference on Modular Elliptic Curves is to be held at the Department of Mathematics, University of Central Florida, August 8-12, 2001. Professor Henri Darmon, McGill University, will serve as the Principal Lecturer of the conference. The organizing committee will consist of mathematicians selected from the Departments of Mathematics in different universities at national and international levels. The general area of the conference's endeavor is of great topical interest and has seen an explosive expansion of research activity in the last ten years. Despite this intense activity over the past decade, there are still numerous unsolved problems and outstanding issues, many of which are among the greatest mathematical challenges of the 21st Century. Darmon, who is a consummate lecturer and a major contributor to the area, has a very broad view of the subject matter. He is currently leading a research program to develop the recent body of work of Bertolini and Darmon on the generalization of the theory of complex multiplication to modular elliptic curves over real quadratic fields. His lectures would serve to survey and unify major developments in the field, assessing both achievements and future directions of research in the field. Consequently, Professor Darmon is an obvious choice to lead a gathering of experts in this area.
