ANTS-X: Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium 2012

第十届算法数论研讨会(ANTS)将于2012年7月9日至13日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。它将包括大约5场特邀讲座，通过竞争评审过程选出的大约25场投稿讲座，以及一次海报会议。预计将有100-150名数学家参加，其中包括相当一部分研究生和博士后，以及一些来自非学术机构的科学家。会议结束后不久还将印发议事录。自1994年以来，蚂蚁会议每两年举行一次，是计算数论新研究的主要国际论坛。它们致力于数论的算法方面，包括初等数论、代数数论、解析数论、数几何、算术代数几何、有限域和密码学。作为一个成熟的会议系列，ANTS吸引了最高质量的邀请和贡献的演讲，并作为一个论坛，在整个计算数论领域的研究社区传播新的想法和技术。对来稿讲稿的审查过程和随后编写的会议记录卷提供了在国际数学研究期刊的质量水平上提出的结果的文件。ANTS会议还起到了重要的培训作用，通过吸引(部分资金)许多美国研究生和博士后(他们将获得部分资金)，他们将受益于接触到计算数论的最新工作，并有机会展示自己的工作。此外，学术界、产业界和政府研究人员之间的互动应该证明对各方都有利。

The tenth Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium (ANTS) meeting will be held July 9-13, 2012, at the University of California, San Diego. It will include approximately 5 invited lectures, about 25 contributed lectures chosen through a competitive review process, and a poster session. It is expected that 100-150 mathematicians will attend, including a sizable fraction of graduate students and postdocs and some scientists from nonacademic institutions. There will also be a proceedings volume issued shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. The ANTS meetings, held biannually since 1994, are the premier international forum for new research in computational number theory. They are devoted to algorithmic aspects of number theory, including elementary number theory, algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, geometry of numbers, arithmetic algebraic geometry, finite fields, and cryptography. As an established conference series, ANTS attracts invited and contributed lectures of the highest quality, and serves as a forum for dissemination of new ideas and techniques throughout the research community in the area of computational number theory. The review process for contributed lectures and the subsequent production of a proceedings volume provides documentation of the presented results at the level of quality of an international research journal in mathematics. The ANTS meeting also serves an important training function, by drawing (with partial funding) many US-based graduate students and postdocs (for whom partial funding will be available), who will benefit both from exposure to the latest work in computational number theory and from the opportunity to present their own work. In addition, the interaction between academic, industry, and government researchers should prove mutually beneficial to all sides.
