Conference on Hilbert Schemes, Vector Bundles and their Interplay with Representation Theory

该奖项资助了2002年4月5-6日在密苏里哥伦比亚大学举行的代数几何会议。会议的重点是希尔伯特方案、向量丛及其与表示理论的相互作用。它有两个主要目标。第一个是为代数几何学家提供一个论坛，让他们与同事见面，了解这些重点领域的最新研究进展。第二个目标是给研究生、新近获得博士学位的女性提供一个开阔数学视野的机会。这次会议包括由著名数学家作8小时的特邀演讲，以及大约20次简短的交流。会议的焦点领域是最近数学和物理融合的中心阶段。这些重点领域的数学成果为解释宇宙至关重要的物理理论提供了坚实的数学基础。此外，会议将对多样性以及科学和教育活动产生高度影响。

This award funds a conference in algebraic geometry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, April 5-6, 2002.The conference focuses on Hilbert schemes, vector bundlesand their interplay with representation theory. It has two main goals. The first is to provide a forum for algebraic geometers to meet with colleagues and learn of recent research developments in these focused areas. The second is to give graduate students, recent Ph.D's and womenan opportunity to broaden their mathematical horizons. The conference includes 8 hour-long invited talks addressed by leading mathematicians, and about 20 shorter communications.The focused areaes of the conference are at the central stage of recent confluence between mathematics and physics. The mathematical achievements in these focused areaes provide solid mathematical foundation to the physics theories which are vital to explain the universe.In addition, the conference will have a high impact on diversity, as well as scientific and educational activities.
