Proposal on International Conferences on Vertex Algebra and Related Topics

这个项目是为了支持美国与会者参加2010年12月15日至17日在京都和2011年12月12日在台北举行的顶点代数及相关主题国际会议。会议的主题包括：无限维李代数、顶点代数、表示论、数论、组合学、群论以及顶点代数、共形网络和共形场论之间的联系。这些会议的主要目的是展示顶点代数最重要的发展。这些会议有助于保持美国研究人员在顶点代数理论方面的国际地位。拟议的活动对教育和培训年轻的数学家产生了强烈的影响。研究生和初级研究人员(其中一些来自非博士生机构)将被邀请参加会议并发表演讲。会议还将有助于加强不同学校之间的交流与合作。

This project is to support US participants' travel to the international conferences on Vertex Algebra and Related Topics which will be held in Kyoto during December 15-17, 2010 and Taipei in December of 2011. The conferences cover the following topics: infinite dimensional Lie algebras, vertex algebras, representation theory, number theory, combinatorics, group theory, and connections among vertex algebras, conformal nets and conformal field theory. The major goal of the proposed conferences is to present the most important developments in vertex algebras.The proposed conferences help to maintain the international standing of the American researchers in the theory of vertex algebra. The proposed activities have a strong impact on educating and training young mathematicians. Graduate students and junior researchers (some of them are from non Ph.D. institutions) will be invited to attend the conferences and to give talks. The conference will also help to strength the communication and cooperation among different schools.
