Collaborative Research: AGNES: Algebraic Geometry NorthEastern Series, April 25-27, 2014

该项目将支持六次半年一次的 AGNES 代数几何周末研讨会，第一场将于 2014 年 4 月 25 日至 27 日在石溪大学举行。代数几何是一门动态学科，与物理学、应用数学以及数论、微分几何和表示论等领域有着重要的联系。美国东北部是一个特殊的枢纽，其研究人员的密度和产出可与世界上任何地区相媲美。 AGNES 周末研讨会汇集了来自该地区及其他地区的一系列代数几何学家，以及来自振兴代数几何的相关领域的代表。演讲者和参与者都有多样性，从资深专家到新兴的年轻研究人员。特别重视学生：AGNES 举办“仅限学生”的介绍性预谈以及专业发展课程。通过讲座、小组讨论、问题会议、海报会议和非正式讨论时段，AGNES 向社区通报进展情况，AGNES 促进新的研究合作，AGNES 培训初级代数几何学家。代数几何学家研究由代数多项式方程定义的形状的几何形状。事实上，自然界中（科学、工程等）中出现的几何形状常常是“代数的”，这解释了代数几何在物理学和应用数学中的至关重要性。这笔赠款通过在美国东北部举办的一系列会议来促进代数几何的研究、传播和培训。重点是支持研究生，强调该领域的广泛工作及其与相关领域的许多联系，并促进我们广泛的研究社区的沟通。AGNES 网站位于 http://www.agneshome.org/

This project will support six semiannual AGNES weekend workshops in Algebraic Geometry, the first of which is to be held at Stony Brook University, April 25 - 27, 2014. Algebraic geometry is a dynamic subject with vital connections to physics, applied mathematics, and fields such as number theory, differential geometry and representation theory. The Northeastern United States are a particular nexus, with a density of researchers and an output rivaling any region in the world. AGNES weekend workshops bring together a spectrum of algebraic geometers from the region and beyond, as well as representatives from allied fields invigorating algebraic geometry. There is diversity both in speakers and participants, from senior experts to burgeoning young researchers. There is a special emphasis on students: AGNES hosts "students-only" introductory pre-talks, as well as professional development sessions. Through lectures, panels, problem sessions, poster sessions, and informal discussion periods, AGNES informs the community of developments, AGNES fosters new research collaborations, and AGNES trains junior algebraic geometers.Algebraic geometers study the geometry of shapes defined by the polynomial equations of Algebra. In fact, the geometric shapes occurring in nature -- in science, in engineering, etc. -- are frequently "algebraic", explaining the vital importance of algebraic geometry in physics and applied mathematics. This grant promotes research, dissemination and training in algebraic geometry through a series of conferences held throughout the Northeastern United States. There is an emphasis on supporting graduate students, highlighting the broad array of work in the area and its many connections to allied areas, and fostering communication in our broad research community.AGNES website is available at http://www.agneshome.org/
