Collaborative Research: Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms (TORA)

德克萨斯州俄克拉荷马州代表和自守形式IV会议将于2013年3月23日至24日在北德克萨斯大学举行。 更多的信息可以在会议的网站上找到：http://www.math.unt.edu/~richter/TORA/TORA4.htmlOver在上个世纪，自守形式和表示的理论有了巨大的发展。重要的应用影响了各个研究领域，从数论、编码理论、代数几何和拓扑到卡茨-穆迪代数和量子场论。自守形式和表示论的相互作用特别富有成果，出现了许多令人惊讶和深刻的结果。TORA系列会议将强调自守形式和表示之间的相互作用，无论是在古典语言和adelic语言，以及相关的主题，如解析数论和调和分析。TORA数学系列会议由北德克萨斯大学，俄克拉荷马州州立大学和俄克拉荷马州大学轮流主办的半年度会议组成。该奖项为三个周末会议提供支持，一个在北德克萨斯大学在2013年春季（TORA IV），一个在俄克拉荷马州州立大学在2013年秋季（TORA V），另一个在俄克拉荷马州大学在2014年春季（TORA VI）。每次会议将有两个或三个著名的演讲嘉宾从得克萨斯州以外的俄克拉荷马州地区，除了其他参与者，包括学生，博士后研究人员和初级教师。区域研究生和研究人员也将发表演讲，描述他们的工作。这些会议将促进该地区在自守形式，表示论和数论领域工作的学生和研究人员之间的合作和互动。

The conference Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms IV will take place on March 23-24, 2013, at the University of North Texas. Additional information can be found on the confernce website: http://www.math.unt.edu/~richter/TORA/TORA4.htmlOver the last century, the theories of automorphic forms and representations have grown enormously. Important applications impact various fields of research, ranging from number theory, coding theory, algebraic geometry, and topology to Kac-Moody algebras and quantum field theory. The interplay of automorphic forms and representation theory has been especially fruitful, and many surprising and deep results have emerged. The TORA conference series will emphasize the interplay between automorphic forms and representations, both in the classical and adelic languages, and related topics like analytic number theory and harmonic analysis.The TORA mathematics conference series consists of semi-annual meetings hosted by the University of North Texas, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Oklahoma on a rotating basis. This award provides support for three weekend conferences, one at the University of North Texas in Spring 2013 (TORA IV), one at Oklahoma State University in Fall 2013 (TORA V), and another at the University of Oklahoma in Spring 2014 (TORA VI). Each conference will feature two or three prominent guest speakers from outside the Texas-Oklahoma region, in addition to other participants including students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty. Regional graduate students and researchers will also give talks describing their work. These conferences will facilitate collaborations and interactions among the students and researchers in the region who work in the areas of Automorphic Forms, Representation Theory, and Number Theory.
