Canadian Number Theory Association X Meeting

摘要首席研究员：Rubenstein， michael提案编号：DMS - 0753794机构：美国数学学会名称：加拿大数论协会第X次会议加拿大数论协会（CNTA）于1987年在拉瓦尔大学召开的国际数论会议上成立。国家数论协会的宗旨是加强和促进数论的学习和研究。为了实现这些目标，中国数学会组织了大型国际会议，目的是让学生和研究人员了解数论的最新发展。前几届会议分别在班夫（1988年）、温哥华（1989年）、金斯顿（1991年）、哈利法克斯（1994年）、渥太华（1996年）、温尼伯（1999年）、蒙特利尔（2002年）、多伦多（2004年）和温哥华（2006年）举行。CNTA第十次会议定于2008年7月13日至18日在滑铁卢大学举行。美国国家科学基金会资助的直接影响将是培训大量的初级美国研究人员（初级教师，博士后和研究生），他们将有机会参加研讨会。参加CNTA IX（2006年温哥华）的几乎一半是美国人（95人）；其余分别来自加拿大（57）、欧洲（32）、亚洲（13）、非洲(3)、澳大利亚(3)和拉丁美洲(2)。会议将包括12场全体演讲，其中包括2008年Ribenboim奖（数论杰出研究奖）获得者的演讲，以及向公众开放的演讲。会议还将在几个特别会议上包括一百多场讲座，涵盖代数数论、解析数论、算术几何、计算数论和丢番图分析等领域。这些主题构成了数论的核心，这是一个起源于古典希腊数学的庞大学科，在密码学、图论、编码理论、组合学和逻辑学等广泛领域都有重要应用，仅举几例。

AbstractPrincipal Investigator: Rubenstein, MichaelProposal Number: DMS - 0753794 Institution: American Institute of Mathematics Title: Canadian Number Theory Association X Meeting The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Laval University. The purpose of the CNTA is to enhance and promote learning and research in Number Theory. To advance these goals, the CNTA organizes major international conferences, with the aim of exposing students and researchers to the latest developments in number theory. The previous meetings have been held in Banff (1988), Vancouver (1989), Kingston (1991), Halifax (1994), Ottawa (1996), Winnipeg (1999), Montreal (2002), Toronto (2004), and Vancouver (2006). The tenth meeting of the CNTA is scheduled to take place on the dates July 13-18, 2008 at the University of Waterloo. The direct impact of NSF funding will be the training of a significant number of junior US researchers (junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students), who will gain the opportunity to participate in the workshop. Almost half of those who attended CNTA IX (Vancouver 2006) were American (95 people); the rest were from Canada (57), Europe (32), Asia (13), Africa (3), Australia (3), and Latin America (2). The conference will contain 12 plenary lectures, including a talk given by the winner of the 2008 Ribenboim Prize (an award for distinguished research in number theory), and a lecture open to the general public. The conference will also include more than one hundred lectures in several special sessions, covering areas in algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, computational number theory, and diophantine analysis. These topics form the core of number theory, a vast subject with origins in classic greek mathematics and having important applications in a wide range of areas including cryptography, graph theory, coding theory, combinatorics, and logic, to name just a few.
