NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - Unitary Representations of Reductive Groups

该奖项将支持将于 2012 年夏天在马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校举行的 NSF/CMBS 区域会议，会议主题为还原群的酉表示。主讲人是麻省理工学院的 David Vogan 教授。该奖项将支持 30 名处于职业生涯不同阶段的参与者。该会议将提供一个论坛来讨论该领域的最新进展，包括一种新的算法方法，该方法有可能为最大的特殊群体 E_8 提供结果。 该会议将吸引广泛的研究人员和高级研究生，他们将接触复杂的软件和计算技术，这将增强他们研究猜想和进行复杂模拟的能力。

This award will support an NSF/CMBS regional conference to be held at the University of Massachusetts Boston in the summer of 2012 on the topic of unitary representations of reductive groups. The principal speaker will be Professor David Vogan from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This award will support 30 participants at different stages of their careers. The conference will provide a forum for discussing the latest advances in the field, including a new algorithmic approach that has the potential to give results for the largest exceptional group E_8. The conference will attract a wide range of researchers and advanced graduate students who will be exposed to sophisticated software and computational techniques that will enhance their capacity to investigate conjectures and carry out complex simulations.
