This proposal requests support for participation of junior researchers from US institutions to the XVIth International Congress on Mathematical Physics, August 1- 8, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic. A substantial portion of the researchers in mathematical physics from all over the world are expected to attend the meeting. The plenary speakers and the topical session organizers are highly regarded. The main criteria for awarding travel support will be scientific excellence, promise for future research, and evidence that participating in the congress will contribute to the professional development of the applicant. Preference will be given to advanced graduate students and recent PhDs. Special attention will be given to groups underrepresented in the mathematical physics community. Intellectual Merit: This series of triennial ICMP conferences, sponsored by the International Association of Mathematical Physics, uniquely aims at covering the most important recent developments in all areas of mathematical physics. The Young Researchers Symposium, immediately preceding the main congress, will provide junior participants with a series of overview lectures on mathematical physics topics of the greatest current interest. Broader Impacts: Participation by talented junior researchers will have a major impact on their careers, and hence on the continued leadership role of the US in this area. The Young Researchers Symposium will enhance the educational aspect of the conference. Mathematical physics has close connections to all branches of pure and applied mathematics and of theoretical physics, and has stimulated some of the most exciting recent developments in mathematics. Mathematical physics is a training ground for researchers in new fields such as mathematical biology and quantum computation.

该提案要求支持美国机构的初级研究人员参加2009年8月1日至8日在捷克共和国布拉格举行的第十六届国际数学物理大会。预计来自世界各地的数学物理研究人员中有相当一部分将出席会议。全体发言人和专题会议组织者受到高度评价。授予旅行支持的主要标准将是科学卓越，对未来研究的承诺，以及参加大会将有助于申请人专业发展的证据。优先考虑高级研究生和最近的博士学位。将特别关注在数学物理界代表性不足的群体。智力优势：这一系列三年一度的学术会议，由国际数学物理协会主办，独特的目的是涵盖数学物理所有领域的最重要的最新发展。青年研究人员研讨会，紧接在主要代表大会之前，将为初级参与者提供一系列关于当前最感兴趣的数学物理主题的概述讲座。更广泛的影响：有才华的初级研究人员的参与将对他们的职业生涯产生重大影响，从而对美国在这一领域的持续领导作用产生重大影响。青年研究人员研讨会将加强会议的教育方面。数学物理学与纯数学、应用数学和理论物理学的所有分支都有密切的联系，并促进了数学中一些最令人兴奋的最新发展。数学物理是数学生物学和量子计算等新领域研究人员的训练基地。
