Palmetto Number Theory Series

摘要：棕榈树数论系列(PANS)是一系列每年在南卡罗来纳州的学院和大学举行的三次数论会议。会议在克莱姆森大学、查尔斯顿学院和南卡罗来纳大学轮流举行。裤子在2006年至2008年成功地完成了头两年的工作。每年三次的会议将在10月、12月和2月举行。10月和2月的会议将举行两次全体会谈，而12月的会议将举行四次全体会谈。长达一小时的全体会议将由来自东南部以外的顶尖数字理论家进行。每次会议将有20-30分钟的东南与会者贡献的演讲。东南部以外的一名研究生或本科生也将被邀请在每次会议上做45分钟的演讲。这些会议的一个主要目标是让东南部的数论界有机会了解最近在数论方面的纯粹和应用研究。裤子会议吸引了杰出的数字理论家。它们还为地区数学家，特别是研究生和初级教师提供了发言的机会。会议的频率和规律性促进了合作，并加强了与会者之间的工作关系。裤子会议的另一个目标是以最低的成本让所有职业阶段和类型的机构的数字理论家参与进来。裤子演讲者包括研究生、初级教员和高级教员。裤子还鼓励和帮助有才华的本科生参与进来。裤子参与者不仅来自南卡罗来纳州，还来自邻近各州的学校。他们来自授予博士学位的机构，授予最高学位的机构是硕士学位，以及只授予学士学位的机构。组织者还试图吸引人口结构多样化的参与者基础，包括妇女和其他代表性不足的群体。

ABSRACT:The Palmetto Number Theory Series (PANTS) is a series of three number theory meetings per year held at colleges and universities in South Carolina, the Palmetto state. The meetings take place on a rotating basis at Clemson University, College of Charleston, and University of South Carolina. PANTS has successfully completed its first two years in 2006-2008. The three yearly meetings are to be held in October, December, and February. The October and February meetings will feature two plenary talks, while the December meeting will feature four plenary talks. The hour-long plenary talks will be given by leading number theorists from outside the Southeast. Each meeting will have 20-30 minute contributed talks from Southeastern participants. One graduate or undergraduate student from outside of the Southeast will also be invited to give a 45 minute talk at each meeting.A primary goal of these meetings is to provide the number theory community in the Southeast an opportunity to hear about recent research in number theory, pure and applied. PANTS meetings attract prominent number theorists. They also provide regional mathematicians, particularly graduate students and junior faculty, an opportunity to speak. The frequency and regularity of the meetings promotes collaboration and strengthens working relationships between participants. Another objective of PANTS meetings is to involve number theorists at all career stages and types of institutions at minimal cost. PANTS speakers include graduate students, junior faculty, and senior faculty. PANTS also encourages and helps the involvement of talented undergraduate students. PANTS participants come not only from South Carolina, but from schools in neighboring states. They come from Ph.D. granting institutions, institutions whose highest degree awarded is a master's degree, and from institutions granting only baccalaureate degrees. The organizers also attempt to attract a demographically diverse participant base, including women and other underrepresented groups.
