Building Bridges: 2nd EU/US Summer School & Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics, June 30-July 1, 2014

该补助金支持国际会议“建桥：第二届欧盟/美国暑期学校自守形式和相关主题研讨会”，将于2014年6月30日至7月11日在英国布里斯托大学举行。 详细信息的网站是http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~mamjd/bb/index.html。 赠款资金将用于支持国际暑期学校和研讨会的美国参与者。 本次会议是继2012年8月在德国亚琛举行的“搭建桥梁：第一届暑期学校讲习班”会议取得成功之后召开的。自守形式几乎存在于现代数论的每一个领域，它们在数学物理中变得越来越重要。 目前对自守形式的研究受到诸如“模块形式和L函数的显式方法”，“拉马努金的遗产”和“朗兰兹计划”等主题的影响，这是暑期学校的三个迷你课程主题。 每门迷你课程都由两名国际知名研究人员组成的团队领导，每天早上有三个小时的讲座，然后是下午的工作会议（小组），重点是讲师开发的练习。 指定的博士后研究人员和导师将在这些会议期间提供辅导支持。 暑期学校之后是一个关于自守形式和相关主题的会议，与会者将介绍与自守形式相关的所有领域的前沿研究。 该研讨会不仅旨在促进和加强欧盟和美国的自形形式研究人员之间的长期交流，而且还旨在产生和维持友好，支持的氛围，为年轻研究人员提供鼓励，为更多的成熟研究人员提供指导机会，并作为交流思想和形成新合作的论坛。

This grant supports the international meeting "Building Bridges: 2nd EU/US Summer School & Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics," which will take place June 30 to July 11, 2014, at the University of Bristol, England. The website with details is http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~mamjd/bb/index.html. Grant funds will be used to support US-based participants in the international summer school and workshop. This conference follows the success of the meeting "Building Bridges: 1st Summer School & Workshop," held in Aachen, Germany, in August 2012. Automorphic forms are present in almost every area of modern number theory, and they are becoming increasingly important in mathematical physics. Current research on automorphic forms is being impacted by such topics as "Explicit Methods for Modular Forms and L-functions," "The Legacy of Ramanujan," and "The Langlands Program," which are the three mini-course topics for the summer school. Each mini-course is led by a team of two internationally-recognized researchers, and will consist of three hours of lecture each morning, followed by work sessions (in small groups) in the afternoon, focused on exercises developed by the instructors. Designated post-doctoral researchers and the instructors will provide tutorial support during these sessions. Following the summer school is a conference on automorphic forms and related topics, where participants will present cutting-edge research in all areas related to automorphic forms. This workshop aims not only to foster and strengthen a long-lasting exchange between automorphic forms researchers in the EU and the US, but also to generate and sustain a friendly, supportive atmosphere, providing encouragement to young researchers, establishing mentoring opportunities for more established researchers, and serving as a forum for exchanging ideas and forming new collaborations.
