ABSTRACTPrincipal Investigator: Savitt, David L. Proposal Number: DMS - 0852464 Institution: University of Arizona Title: Special Meeting: Southwest Center for Arithmetic GeometryThe Southwest Center for Arithmetic Geometry was founded in 1997 with grant support from the National Science Foundation, and renewed in 2002, 2006, and 2009. The main activity of the Southwest Center is the Arizona Winter School (AWS), an annual meeting which has become a prominent national event, and which provides high-level training and research experience for graduate students in arithmetic geometry. The AWS is an intensive five-day meeting, organized around a different central topic each year, which features a set of courses by leading and emerging experts. The AWS is not a traditional conference: the speakers organize courses of four lectures, with lecture notes provided in advance, and propose projects for graduate students to work on during the meeting. Each speaker hosts working sessions nightly during the meeting, and on the last day the students present their findings to the entire group. The result is a particularly intense and focused five days of mathematical activity for both students and speakers. Recent Winter School topics have included non-archimedean geometry, transcendence theory, and quadratic forms. Upcoming AWS topics will be guided by future mathematical developments and the availability of key speakers.At the Winter School, connections among peers are formed, and mentoring relationships between students and senior researchers are developed. As has been the case at previous Winter Schools, subsequent collaborations between participants at all levels are the norm. Experienced researchers develop new interests and see new connections that lead to important published results; students make concrete strides toward becoming research mathematicians; and post-doctoral assistants gain valuable mentoring experience, which helps to develop their academic careers. The Southwest Center website shares reusable content from the Winter Schools, including lecture notes, project descriptions, and audio and video of lectures. Since our site will contain a thorough record of each Winter School, the dialogues begun at the Winter School will be extended to the greater mathematical community, and the efforts of the Winter School participants will be available to all mathematicians indefinitely.

摘要首席研究员：Savitt， David L.提案编号：DMS - 0852464机构：亚利桑那大学题目：专题会议：西南几何中心西南几何中心于1997年在美国国家科学基金资助下成立，并于2002年、2006年、2009年三次更新。西南中心的主要活动是亚利桑那冬季学校（AWS），这是一个年度会议，已成为一个突出的国家事件，为研究生提供高水平的训练和研究经验。AWS是一个为期五天的密集会议，每年围绕不同的中心主题组织，其中包括由领先和新兴专家提供的一系列课程。AWS不是一个传统的会议：演讲者组织四堂课的课程，提前提供课堂讲稿，并提出项目供研究生在会议期间研究。每位演讲者在会议期间每晚主持工作会议，最后一天，学生们向整个小组展示他们的发现。结果是对学生和演讲者来说，这是一个特别紧张和集中的五天数学活动。最近冬季学校的主题包括非阿基米德几何、超越理论和二次型。即将到来的AWS主题将以未来的数学发展和主要演讲者的可用性为指导。在冬季学校，同学之间的联系形成，学生和高级研究员之间的师徒关系发展。与之前的冬季学校一样，随后各级参与者之间的合作是常态。经验丰富的研究人员会产生新的兴趣，并看到新的联系，从而导致重要的成果发表；学生们朝着成为研究数学家的方向迈出了具体的步伐；博士后助教获得了宝贵的指导经验，这有助于他们的学术生涯发展。西南中心的网站分享了来自冬季学校的可重复使用的内容，包括课堂讲稿、项目描述以及讲座的音频和视频。由于我们的网站将包含每个冬季学校的完整记录，冬季学校开始的对话将扩展到更大的数学界，并且冬季学校参与者的努力将无限期地提供给所有数学家。
