US-Chile Workshop: Complex Analysis and Mathematical Physics; Pucon, Chile, December, 2010

这项美国-智利奖将支持在2010年12月在智利普孔举行的首次美国数学学会-智利数学学会联合会议之前举行的复杂分析和数学物理国际研讨会。该研讨会将由智利Bio-Bio大学（UBB）、挪威卑尔根大学数学研究所（UiB）和南佛罗里达大学（USF）的一组科学家联合组织。这次研讨会将为这些科学界之间的合作创造新的令人兴奋的机会，并加强智利-美国在数学和物理方面的联合企业。在南美数学界受到相当关注的新研究方向之一是二维现象的复杂分析和数学物理，称为椭圆或拉普拉斯增长（或Hele-Shaw流）。这个优雅的科学领域最近发现了令人惊讶的许多应用，这使得成熟的研究人员和他们的年轻同事都很感兴趣。本次研讨会将为欧洲、南美和北美、年轻和有经验的数学家和物理学家之间发展新的合作提供机会。特别是，美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于将不同群体的年轻美国研究人员和研究生与南美同事进行合作。委员会的两名成员是女性，她们不仅是研究人员，而且是吸引年轻女性进入数学领域的导师。这将有助于吸引大量的妇女和少数民族参加讲习班，并将开始使她们融入在这些领域工作的更大的科学家群体。本项目由国际科学与工程办公室美洲项目和数学科学部分析项目资助。

This U.S.-Chile award will support an international workshop on Complex Analysis and Mathematical Physics to be held prior to the first-ever joint American Mathematical Society-Chilean Mathematical Society Meeting in Pucon, Chile that will take place in December, 2010. The workshop will be organized jointly by a group of scientists at the University of Bio-Bio (UBB) in Chile, the Mathematical Institute at the University of Bergen, Norway (UiB) and at the University of South Florida (USF). This workshop will create new exciting opportunities for collaboration between these scientific communities and strengthen the Chile-US joint enterprise in Mathematics and Physics. One of the new directions of research receiving considerable attention in South-American mathematical communities is the complex analysis and mathematical physics of two-dimensional phenomena, known as elliptic or Laplacian growth (or, Hele-Shaw flows). This elegant scientific field has recently found surprisingly many applications, which makes it interesting both for established researchers and their younger colleagues. This workshop will provide an opportunity to develop new collaborations between mathematicians and physicists, Europeans and South and North Americans, young and experienced. In particular, the NSF funds will be used to bring a diverse group of young US researchers and graduate students into collaboration with South American colleagues. Two of the committee members are women who are visibly active, not only as researchers, but also as mentors who attract young women into mathematics. This will help to attract a significant number of women and minorities to participate in the workshop and will initiate their infusion into a larger group of scientists working in these areas. This project is supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Analysis Program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences.
