International Workshop on Concentration, Functional Inequalities and Isoperimetry; October - November 2009; Boca Raton, FL

该奖项将为参加将于2009年10月29日至11月1日在佛罗里达大西洋大学举行的“浓度、功能不等式和等距测量”国际研讨会的研究人员提供资助。支持将提供给目前没有获得NSF奖的参与者，但一些全体会议发言人除外。据了解，大部分资金将用于研究生、博士后和初级教师，但某些高级参与者也将获得资助。该计划将包括16个一小时的全体讲座和一些专题讲座。这次会议的主要目的是向年轻的数学家介绍这一领域，并提供一个论坛来介绍这一理论的最新进展。组织者打算积极吸引年轻数学家、女数学家和其他未被充分代表的群体的数学家，大部分资金将用于这些群体。预计研究生将参加会议。

This award will provide support to defray expenses of researchers participating in the International Workshop on Concentration, Functional Inequalities and Isoperimetry to be held October 29-November 1, 2009 at Florida Atlantic University. Support will be provided to participants who do not currently hold NSF awards, with exceptions made for some plenary speakers. It is understood that much of the funding will be directed to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty but that certain senior participants will be funded as well.The program will feature 16 one hour plenary lectures and a number of contributed talks. The principal objective of this meeting is to introduce young mathematicians to the field, as well as to provide a forum for presentation of the current state of the art of the theory. The organizers intend to actively involve young mathematicians, female mathematicians, and mathematicians from other under-represented groups, to which much of the funding will be directed. Graduate students are expected to participate at the meeting.
