The Legacy of Daniel Quillen: K-Theory And Homotopical Algebra

马萨诸塞州理工学院将于2012年10月6日至8日举办一次会议，庆祝已故丹尼尔奎伦的数学影响和遗产。这次会议将汇集研究人员在当前activity的许多领域，奎伦要么成立或深刻影响，包括代数K理论，循环同源，理性同伦理论，抽象同伦理论，群上同调，和模块化表示理论。将有十三个主要的会谈，留下足够的时间供与会者互动。 本次会议所涵盖的各种主题都是由他们的创造者的愿景统一，我们预计，会议将导致富有成效的合作，因为他们重新连接。 将尽一切努力汇集研究人员，否则分开的地理，年龄和职级，和领域。丹尼尔奎伦（1940- 2011）是最伟大的美国数学家之一。赢家菲尔兹奖（最高奖项给予该领域）于1978年，奎伦有深刻的和独特的洞察力的性质数学。他建立的基础，两个主要分支的数学现在正在追求数以百计的arcticans世界各地的今天-代数K理论和抽象同伦理论-并深刻影响了发展的其他几个领域。预计约有200名与会者，这个为期三天的会议将听取这些领域的主要研究人员的意见，并将他们与来自美国和国外的年轻和有抱负的数学家聚集在一起。赠款的很大一部分将保证没有资金或资金不足的年轻研究人员能够参加，并确保妇女和传统上代表性不足的少数民族人口的参与。将建立一个网页，在互联网上分发发言的内容，以增加会议的可访问性。 http://math.mit.edu/quillen/

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will host a conference, October 6--8, 2012, celebrating the mathematical impact and legacy of the late Daniel Quillen. The conference will bring together researchers in the many areas of current actvity that Quillen either founded or profoundly influenced, including algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology, rational homotopy theory, abstract homotopy theory, group cohomology, and modular representation theory. There well be thirteen main talks, leaving ample time for interaction among participants. The diverse topics covered by this conference are united by the vision of their creator, and we anticipate that the conference will result in fruitful collaborations as they reconnect. Every effort will be made to bring together researchers otherwise separated by geography, age and rank, and field.Daniel Quillen (1940--2011) was one of the of the greatest American mathematicians. A winner of the Fields Medal (the highest award given in the field) in 1978, Quillen had a deep and unique insight into the nature of mathematics. He established the foundations of two major branches of mathematics now being pursued by hundreds of mathematicans around the world today - algebraic K-theory and abstract homotopy theory - and profoundly influenced the development of several other fields. With some two hundred participants expected, this three-day conference will hear from leading researchers in these areas and bring them together with young and aspiring mathematicians from the US and abroad. A significant portion of the grant will guarantee that otherwise unfunded or underfunded young researchers can attend and to ensure the participation of women and traditionally underrepresented minority populations. The accessibility of the conference will be augmented by the creation of a web page which will distribute the contents of the presentations on the internet. http://math.mit.edu/quillen/
