Conference: From Carthage to the World: The Isoperimetric Problems of Queen Dido and its Mathematical Ramifications to be held Carthage, Tunisia, Spring 2010

这次会议旨在召集经典等周不等式、尖锐泛函不等式和谱不等式的专家，在突尼斯的迦太基举行为期一周的会议，以迦太基创始人狄多女王的名字命名的数学问题就是在这里起源的。2010年5月底举行的为期一周的会议将作为年轻研究人员和研究生的训练场，其中包括关于重排、频谱分析和几何不等技术的密集课程。通过回顾过去30年的重大突破，以及资深教授和初级研究人员最近成果的汇合，会议将成为汇聚等周测量中的许多趋势的一种手段。会议还将作为一个论坛，让分析和数学物理等周量学的专家与那些在几何问题的根源附近工作的人直接接触。通过24次全体会议(说明性、中级和高级)、公开问题会议和研究生海报会议，会议将成为对等周学学科内的趋势进行广泛评估的场所。参赛者将在等周(概率、解析、几何)和更新趋势(非线性流动技术)的背景下接触到经典数学传统。该奖项为在美国工作的研究人员和学生提供参加Dido皇后会议的旅费。这次会议被设想为一次完全国际化的聚会，充分代表数学家在美国的活动是至关重要的。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

This conference aims to bring together experts on classical isoperimetric inequalities, sharp functional inequalities, and spectral inequalities for a week-long conference in Carthage, Tunisia, where the mathematical problem named after Queen Dido, the founder of Carthage, originated. The week-long gathering at the end of May 2010 will serve as a training ground for young researchers and graduate students, incorporating an intensive program on techniques of rearrangement, spectral analysis, and geometric inequalities. Through a review of major breakthroughs over the last 30 years, and the confluence of recent results by both senior professors and junior researchers, the conference will serve as a means to bring together the many trends within isoperimetry. The conference will also serve as a forum to bring experts on isoperimetry in Analysis and Mathematical Physics into direct contact with those working near the roots of the problem in Geometry. Through 24 plenary talks (expository, intermediate, and advanced), open problems sessions, and a poster session for graduate students, the conference will serve as a venue for a wide-ranging evaluation of trends within the discipline of isoperimetry. Attendees will be exposed to classical mathematical traditions in the context of isoperimetry (probabilistic, analytic, geometric) and more recent trends (nonlinear flow techniques).The award provides funding of travel expenses of researchers and students working in the U.S. to participate in the Queen Dido conference. The conference is envisioned as a fully international gathering, and it is essential that the activities of mathematicians in the U.S. be adequately represented. The award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering.
