Groups and Algebraic Geometry at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques

该奖项将资助美国研究生和博士后研究员参加中心德研究数学在蒙特利尔为期数周的一个学期的活动为中心的主题群体和代数几何在2002年春季。 计划的活动包括一个强有力的培训组成部分，包括1）希尔伯特模块化品种和形式的四天研讨会，2）一个星期的科克塞特群计算冬季学校，3）一个星期的研讨会上理性品种的群体行动，4）一个两个星期的研讨会上不变理论，5）一个月的集中在函数场的朗兰兹计划，5）一个为期两周的计算李理论研讨会，和6）一个为期一周的代数变换群研讨会。 蒙特利尔的数学研究中心是加拿大数学科学的三个研究中心之一，其任务范围广泛，涵盖了数学学科发展的各个方面，其活动包括各种主题的年，一般会议计划，工业计划，与美国数学学会合作的出版物计划，以及致力于教育的活动。 这些主题涵盖了数学科学中一些最令人兴奋的领域，并且通常在纯学科和应用学科之间交替。 该奖项将为美国提供支持学生和博士后研究员，以便他们可以参加2002年春季学期的活动。 这学期的主题是群和代数几何，这是一个很难的研究领域，如果有的话，很少有大学能提供高级课程，让研究生做好充分的准备。该奖项将允许学生利用一个特殊的教育和培训机会，由世界领先的专家在最近取得重大突破的领域。

This award will fund U.S. graduate students and post-doctoral fellows attending the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques inMontreal for periods of several weeks during a semester ofactivities centered on the theme of Groups and Algebraic Geometryduring Spring, 2002. The activities planned include a strongcomponent of training, including 1) a four day workshop onHilbert Modular Varieties and Forms, 2) a one week Winter schoolon Computations in Coxeter Groups, 3) a one week workshop onGroup Actions on Rational Varieties, 4) a two week workshop onInvariant Theory, 5) a one-month concentration period on theLanglands Program for Function Fields, 5) a two week workshop onComputational Lie Theory, and 6) a one week workshop onAlgebraic Transformation Groups. The Centre de Recherches Mathematiques in Montreal is one of Canada's three research centers in the mathematical sciences, and has a broad mandate covering all of the various aspects ofdevelopment of the discipline, with activities comprising themeyears in various topics, a general conference program, anindustrial program, a publications program in partnership withthe American Mathematical Society, as well as activities devotedto education. The themes cover some of the most exciting areasof the mathematical sciences and typically alternate between pureand applied disciplines. This award will provide support forU.S. students and postdoctoral fellows so that they can attendthe events during the Spring 2002 semester. This semester isthematically devoted to Groups and Algebraic Geometry, adifficult area of research in which few, if any, universities canoffer coverage by advanced courses which allow for adequategraduate student preparation. This award will allow students totake advantage of an exceptional opportunity for education andtraining by the world's leading experts in areas that have seensignificant numbers of recent breakthroughs.
