Current Developments in Mathematics Conference

哈佛系和麻省理工学院系将在哈佛主办一个为期一天半的国际会议。目的是让优秀的演讲者解释数学科学不同领域的前沿，这将促进不同领域的数学家之间的跨学科活动。这是一年一度的活动。今年，以下将是发言者：肯·里贝特，谁将谈论的作品，Khare和让-皮埃尔·温滕伯格，在塞尔猜想（1987年）的证明在许多情况下。塞尔指出，奇不可约二维模p-伽罗瓦表示应产生于模形式。雅科夫西奈将谈到数学问题的流体动力学，在那里他将描述建设的幂级数解决方案的Navier-Stokes方程。艾德维滕将谈论最近的重要发展如何朗兰兹计划出现在量子场论和数学思想如何可以来自这样的解释。Terry Tao将讲述他在调和分析和非线性双曲方程方面的工作。西蒙唐纳森或保罗赛德尔将谈论辛几何的最新进展。会议的一个重要组成部分是帮助来自全国各地和世界其他地区的年轻博士后研究员和研究生学习，交流和与参加这次会议的领域的领导人一起工作。他们的旅费将根据基金的可动用程度而定，特别鼓励少数民族前来。 由于主题涵盖范围广泛，从数论，几何，拓扑，代数，数学物理计算和应用数学一般，我们期待在会议期间大量的思想交流。将印刷一本相当详细的预备书，以帮助观众理解讲座。最后，将出版一本由演讲者撰写的书。

The departments of Harvard and MIT will sponsor an international conference at Harvard for one and a half days. The purpose is to bring excellent speakers to explain the forefront of different fields in mathematical science, which will promote interdisciplinary activities among mathematicians of different fields. This has been an annual event. This year, the following will be speakers: Ken Ribet, who will talk on the works of Chandrashekhar Khare and Jean-Pierre Wintenberger, on the proof of Serre conjecture (1987) in many cases. Serre conjectured that odd irreducible two-dimensional mod p-Galois representations should arise from modular forms. Yakov Sinai will talk on mathematical problems in fluid dynamics, where he will describe the construction of power series solution to the Navier-Stokes equation. Ed Witten will talk on the recent important development of how the Langlands program appears in quantum field theory and how mathematical ideas can come from such interpretations. Terry Tao will talk on his work on harmonic analysis and nonlinear hyperbolic equations. Simon Donaldson or Paul Seidel will talk on recent advances in symplectic geometry.An important component of the conference is to help young post-doctoral fellows and graduate students to come from all over the country and other parts of the world to learn, to communicate and to work with the leaders of the field that attend this conference. Their travel will be covered depending on the extent of the availability of the fund. Minorities are especially encouraged to come. Since the topics cover a wide range from number theory, geometry, topology, algebra, mathematical physics to computing and applied mathematics in general, we expect a great deal of interchange of ideas during the conference. A rather detailed preliminary book will be printed to help the audience understand the lectures. At the end, a book written by the speakers will be published.
