Conference on Function Spaces and their Operators, St. Louis, MO, May 2008

麦卡锡这项提议是为了部分支持将于2008年5月在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学举行的关于“函数空间及其算子”的会议。会议将持续三天。将特别注意支持妇女、青年数学家和代表性不足群体的成员。NSF基金的主要用途将是这一目的。函数空间及其算子的研究近年来进展迅速，目前仍在发展中。重要的是利用这个机会让年轻的研究人员了解最近的发展，评估这些发展，并规划未来的工作。会议的影响将是广泛和持久的。目标之一是将年轻的数学家和来自代表性不足群体的数学家纳入该专业的工作基础设施。让他们接触成熟而有经验的学者，让他们接触到当前的研究问题，将有助于促进他们的职业生涯，并让他们从会议中获得一些永久的价值。

AbstractMcCarthyThis proposal is to partially support a conference on "Function Spaces and their Operators" to be held at Washington University in St. Louis in May 2008. The conference will run for three days. Particular attention will be given to supporting women, young mathematicians, and members of under-represented groups. The primary use of the NSF funds will be for this purpose.The study of function spaces and their operators has advanced rapidly in recent years, and is still undergoing development. It is important to take this opportunity to expose young researchers to recent developments, to assess these developments, and to plan for future work.The impact of the conference will be broad and lasting. One of the goals is to integrate young mathematicians and mathematicians from underrepresented groups into the working infrastructure of the profession. Putting them into contact with mature and experienced scholars, and exposing them to current research problems, will help to boost their careers, and give them something of permanent value to take away from the conference.
