22nd Annual Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics - College Station, TX

在过去的21年里，自守形式和相关主题的年度研讨会一直是一个小型和友好的会议。参加的人从学生到新的博士到成熟的研究人员。对于年轻的研究人员，会议提供了支持和鼓励;对于有成就的研究人员，它提供了指导和建立网络的机会，以及交流思想的论坛。该研讨会已成为国际公认的高质量的研究会谈和支持青年研究人员的气氛。与会者的演讲涵盖了与自守形式有关的所有领域，包括马斯波形式，椭圆曲线，西格尔和雅可比模形式，L函数的特殊值，随机矩阵，二次形式，模形式的计算和应用等。这些主题是当前数论研究的前沿，它们在其他领域，如物理学，密码学，除了就最近和正在进行的项目进行研究报告外，这次研讨会将延续2003年开始的成功传统，就与初级教师密切相关的许多主题进行讨论，由专家主持。 近年来，主题包括"在哪里出版最好？“如何重新启动一个停滞的研究计划？”“，"鼓励和保留妇女和其他代表性不足的群体在数论社区”，仅举几例。今年的研讨会将讨论以下主题：“如何开始和保持数学合作”;以及“自守形式的研究进展如何？“基本上所有与会者都参加了这些讨论，并编写了要点的书面摘要并张贴在讲习班上？的网站。

ABSTRACTOver the last 21 years, the Annual Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics has remained a small and friendly conference. Those attending range from students to new PhD's to well established researchers. For young researchers, the conference has provided support and encouragement; for accomplished researchers, it has provided the opportunity to mentor and build networks, as well as a forum for exchanging ideas. The workshop has become internationally recognized for both its high-quality research talks and its supportive atmosphere for junior researchers. Participants give presentations covering all areas related to automorphic forms, including Maass wave forms, elliptic curves, Siegel and Jacobi modular forms, special values of L-functions, random matrices, quadratic forms, computation and applications of modular forms, etc. These topics are among those at the cutting edge of current research in number theory, and they have applications in other fields such as physics, cryptography, and computer science, to name a few.In addition to research presentations on recent and on-going projects, this workshop will continue the successful tradition begun in 2003 of featuring discussion sessions, facilitated/moderated by experts, on numerous topics germane to junior faculty. In recent years, topics have included ``Where is it best to publish?", ``How to restart a stalled research program?", ``Encouraging and retaining women and other under-represented groups in the Number Theory community'', to name a few. This year, the Workshop will consider the following topics: "How to start and maintain mathematical collaboration"; and "Where is research on automorphic forms going?"These discussions are attended by essentially all the conference participants, and a written summary of the main points is produced and posted on the workshop?s website.
