Special Meetings: Annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras

摘要本提案为非交换几何与算子代数春季研究所（NCGAO）申请资助，为期三年（2009-2011）。每个学院/会议的目的是将研究生、博士后和学校重点领域的世界级研究人员聚集在一起，并在由顶尖专家举办的迷你课程中介绍介绍材料和最新发展。由于过去参加NCGOA春季研究所的研究生和博士后人数庞大，该研究所将对非交换几何产生巨大影响，特别是对美国数学界。范德比尔特自2003年5月起举办了六届非交换几何和算子代数春季研究所。一年一度的春季学院是春季学校和国际研究会议的结合。它通常吸引超过100名参与者，其中超过三分之二的学生和博士后。主题每年都在变化，涵盖了非交换几何和算子代数的广泛领域。NCGOA的年度春季研究所由Alain Connes领导，由Vanderbilt的非交换几何和算子代数中心组织。

AbstractBischThis proposal seeks funding for the annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras (NCGAO) for three years (2009-2011). The aim of each school/conference is to bring together graduate students, postdocs and world-class researchers in the areas of emphasis of the school and present introductory material and recent developments in mini-courses held by leading experts. Since the number of graduate students and postdocs attending the past NCGOA spring institutes has been huge, the institute will have an enormous impact on noncommutative geometry in particular, and on the US mathematics community in general. Vanderbilt has hosted six annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras since May 2003. The annual spring institute is a combination of spring school and international research conference. It attracts typically over100participants with more than two thirds students and postdocs. The topics vary from year to year and cover a broad range of areas within noncommutative geometry and operator algebras. The annual spring institute in NCGOA is directed by Alain Connes and organized by the Center for Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras at Vanderbilt.
