Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Combinatorics Conference

2010年8月，第二十二届正式幂级数和代数组合学国际会议将在旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学举行。年度FPSAC会议的独特和持续成功部分源于其相当大的跨学科广度-将组合数学的领先研究人员与来自纯数学和应用数学，理论计算机科学，物理学和生物学的相关领域的强大研究人员联系起来。FPSAC 2010的主要数学主题是：代数、几何和枚举组合学，以及它们与其他领域的关系，如代数几何、交换代数、表示论、K理论、几何群论和辛几何。将有九个全体讲座，大约30个贡献的会谈和40个海报展示通过严格的裁判程序选择。在第二轮评审之后，将发行一个专门介绍会议记录的特刊。FPSAC会议的一个显著特点是共同努力表彰和鼓励杰出的年轻科学家。至少有一位全体发言人是“新兴的星星”，有才华的年轻研究人员在被选中参加贡献会谈的发言人中有很好的代表性。FPSAC会议的另一个特点是持续的包容性传统。会议力求吸引代表性不足的群体的实质性参与。此外，英语、法语和西班牙语被指定为2010年FPSAC的官方语言，以促进参与者的多样化。预计将有来自世界各地的约200名与会者参加。出席这次会议将是非常有价值的研究生和初级研究人员。湾区在离散数学方面有着悠久的研究历史，旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学拥有一个强大的、国际公认的组合数学小组。FPSAC 2010将为年轻研究人员提供一个极好的机会，使他们能够在国内和国际上进行接触，这对他们的职业发展可能具有重要价值。

In August 2010, the twenty-second international conference Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC) will be held at San Francisco State University. The unique and continuing success of the annual FPSAC conferences stems in part from their considerable interdisciplinary breadth - linking leading researchers in combinatorial mathematics with strong researchers in allied fields drawn from pure and applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, physics, and biology. The principal mathematical topics featured in FPSAC 2010 will be: algebraic, geometric, and enumerative combinatorics, and their relations to other areas such as algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, representation theory, K-theory, geometric group theory, and symplectic geometry. There will be nine plenary lectures, and approximately 30 contributed talks and 40 poster presentations selected through a strict refereeing procedure. After a second round of refereeing, a special issue devoted to the conference proceedings will be published.A distinguishing characteristic of FPSAC conferences is the concerted effort to recognize and encourage outstanding young scientists. At least one plenary speaker is an "emerging star," and talented young researchers are well represented among the speakers selected for contributed talks. Another special feature of the FPSAC conferences is a continued tradition of inclusiveness. The conference seeks to draw substantial participation from underrepresented groups. Furthermore, English, French, and Spanish have been designated as offcial languages for FPSAC 2010 to promote a diverse pool of participants. About 200 participants from all over the world are expected. Attendance at this conference will be exceptionally valuable for graduate students and junior researchers. The Bay Area has a long history of research in discrete mathematics, and San Francisco State University has a strong, internationally recognized combinatorics group. FPSAC 2010 promises to be an excellent opportunity for young researchers to make both domestic and international contacts that are likely to be of great value in developing their careers.
