Groups and Algebraic Geometry at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques

该奖项将资助2002年春季在蒙特利尔数学研究中心参加以群和代数几何为主题的为期数周的学期活动的美国研究生和博士后。计划的活动包括一个强大的培训组成部分，包括1)为期四天的hilbert模变量和形式研讨会，2)为期一周的Coxeter群计算冬季学校，3)为期一周的有理变量群作用研讨会，4)为期两周的不变量理论研讨会，5)为期一个月的langlands函数域计划集中期，5)为期两周的计算李理论研讨会，以及6)为期一周的代数变换群研讨会。蒙特利尔数学研究中心是加拿大三大数学科学研究中心之一，其任务范围广泛，涵盖数学学科发展的各个方面，其活动包括各种主题的主题年、一般性会议计划、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，通常在纯学科和应用学科之间交替进行。该合同将为美国提供支持。学生和博士后，以便他们可以参加2002年春季学期的活动。本学期的主题是群和代数几何，这是一个很难研究的领域，如果有的话，很少有大学可以提供高级课程，让研究生做好充分的准备。该奖项将使学生有机会接受世界领先专家的教育和培训，这些专家在最近取得了重大突破。

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.
