Geometry and Arithmetics

迈阿密大学数学系将于2005年12月举办一场名为“算术、代数和辛几何”的冬季会议。会议将重点关注高维代数几何的最新进展在算术和辛研究方向上的推广和结合，并在射影几何和叶理理论之间、奇点理论和重建伽罗问题之间、相干束几何和辛拓扑之间建立新的桥梁。该奖项将支持来自美国机构的初级研究人员和研究生，并将使几何技术在新一代年轻科学家中传播开来。会议将讨论一些困难的经典问题，如物理世界的隐藏对称性、大尺度时空结构和高能量物质的性质。这项活动旨在提高我们对处理这些问题所需的数学方法的理解，并产生适用于弦物理，软凝聚态理论和数学生物学的结果。

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Miami will host aWinter Conference and School in December 2005 entitled "Arithmetic,Algebraic and Symplectic Geometry". The conference will focus onpromotion and incorporation of recent advances in higher dimensionalalgebraic geometry into arithmetic and symplectic research directionsand the creation of new bridges between projective geometry andfoliation theory, between singularity theory and reconstructive Galoisproblems and between the geometry of coherent sheaves and symplectictopology. The award will support junior researchers and graduatestudents from U.S. institutions and will enable the dissemination ofgeometric techniques among the new generation of young scientists.The conference will address difficult classical questions about the hidden symmetries of the physical world, the large scale structure of space-time and the properties of matter athigh energies. This activity aims to advance our understanding of themathematical methodology necessary to handle such questions and toproduce results applicable in stringy physics, soft condensed matter theoryand mathematical biology.
