Southeastern Lie Theory Workshop Series

由这笔资金资助的东南谎言理论研讨会将于2012年10月13日至15日在查尔斯顿学院举行，并于2013年春末在路易斯安那州立大学举行。代数、解析和几何李论是数学研究的一个重要领域，在数学、物理、计算机科学等许多不同领域都有重要的应用。在美国东南部地区，有一大批数学家致力于李理论及其应用的不同方面的研究。三年前，一些私人投资机构成立了一个名为“东南李论网络”的联盟，以加强区域研究合作，并为研究生和初级研究人员提供更好的教育环境。为此，他们发起了年度研讨会系列活动。前三个讲习班在成员机构举行：北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)(2009年)、佐治亚大学(UGA)(2010年)和弗吉尼亚大学(UVA)(2011年)，后续讲习班将于2012年4月21日至22日在北卡罗来纳州立大学举行。在这些讲习班取得成功的基础上，投资促进机构计划继续这一系列活动，2012年在查尔斯顿学院(CoC)举办一个讲习班，2013年在路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)举办一个讲习班。这两个研讨会的研究主题是：“顶点代数、共形场理论和可积系统”(2012，CoC)和“非对易几何和表示理论”(2013，路易斯安那州立大学)。这笔资金将提供举办这两个讲习班所需的支助。每个工作坊将有一到两名主要演讲者，在主题区域进行2-3次说明性演讲，研究生和博士后都可以进入。此外，还将有3-4个由其他研究人员邀请的讲座。与会者将有充足的时间进行非正式讨论。将花费大量时间在小组参与者之间进行非正式讨论(遵循“AIM模式”)，由从参与者中挑选的特邀小组组长领导具体的研究问题。该联盟和研讨会系列已经并将继续促进和加强美国东南部地区在测谎理论方面的研究合作。从长远来看，拟议的活动将培养强大的地区研究和教育传统，进而帮助数学系吸引更多少数族裔和代表性不足的群体进入数学科学。本次会议的网站is:http://coxbl.people.cofc.edu/Southeastern%20Lie%20Theory%20conference

The Southeastern Lie Theory Workshops funded under this grant will take place at College of Charleston on October 13-15, 2012 and at Louisiana State University in late spring of 2013. Algebraic, analytic and geometric Lie theory is a major area of mathematical research with important application to many different areas of mathematics, physics, computer science, etc. There is a critical mass of mathematicians working on different aspects of Lie Theory and their applications in the southeastern region of U.S. Three years ago some of the PIs established a consortium called "Southeastern Lie Theory Network" to enhance regional research collaboration and provide a stronger educational environment for graduate students and junior researchers. Toward this end, they initiated an annual workshop series. The first three workshops were held at member institutions: North Carolina State University (NCSU) (2009), University of Georgia (UGA) (2010) and University of Virginia (UVA) (2011) with a follow up workshop to be held at North Carolina State University during April 21-22, 2012. Based on the success of these workshops the PIs plan to continue this series with a workshop at College of Charleston (CoC) in 2012 and one at Louisiana State University (LSU) in 2013. The research themes for these two workshops will be: "Vertex Algebras, Conformal Field Theory, and Integrable Systems" (2012, CoC) and "Noncommutative geometry and representation theory" (2013, LSU). This funding will provide the needed support to organize these two workshops. Each workshop will feature one or two main speakers, giving 2-3 expository talks in the theme area, accessible to graduate students and postdocs. In addition, there will be 3-4 invited talks by other researchers. There will be ample time for informal discussion among participants. Considerable time will be devoted for informal discussion among participants in small groups (following the "AIM Model") to work on specific research problems led by invited team leaders chosen from among the participants. The consortium and workshop series has and will continue to stimulate and enhance research collaboration in Lie theory in the southeastern region of the U.S. In the long run, the proposed activity will foster a strong regional tradition of research and education, in turn helping mathematics departments attract more minorities and underrepresented groups to mathematical sciences in general.
