This grant will support six meetings of Appalachian Set Theory (AST) workshop series, with the first one planned for December 2014. These are two-day conferences focuses primarily at graduate students and aiming at presenting cutting edge developments in the discipline.The Appalachian Set Theory (AST) workshop series ran initially for the period 2006-2012, supported by NSF grants DMS-0631446 and DMS-0903845. We propose to continue this innovative workshop series. We will hold two workshops per year, each devoted to a single topic such as a broadly applicable method, a complex seminal paper or a significant unpublished theorem. Faculty and students who are not experts will be immersed in the subject for one or two intensive days and get the tools they need to continue on their own. Each workshop will be led by one or two experts. NSF funds will be used to cover the workshop leaders' expenses, and to provide support for those wishing to attend who do not have other sources of funding. After each workshop graduate student assistants will be paid to prepare typed notes, with help from the workshop leader or leaders: these notes will be promptly disseminated online. Most of the workshop notes for the period 2006-2012 are collected in the volume "Appalachian Set Theory 2006-2012" (Cambridge University Press). In planning these workshops, special emphasis will be given to encouraging participation by young mathematicians and mathematicians from underrepresented groups.

这笔赠款将支持阿巴拉契亚集合论(AST)研讨会系列的六次会议，第一次计划于2014年12月举行。这些为期两天的会议主要针对研究生，旨在展示该学科的前沿发展。阿巴拉契亚集合论研讨会系列最初在2006年至2012年期间举行，由美国国家科学基金会拨款0631446和0903845。我们建议继续这一创新的研讨会系列。我们每年将举办两次研讨会，每一次都致力于单一的主题，例如广泛适用的方法、复杂的开创性论文或重要的未发表的定理。非专家的教师和学生将沉浸在这门课程中一到两天，并获得他们自己继续学习所需的工具。每个研讨会将由一名或两名专家领导。NSF的资金将用于支付研讨会领导人的费用，并为那些希望参加但没有其他资金来源的人提供支持。每次研讨会结束后，在研讨会领导的帮助下，研究生助理将被付钱准备打字笔记：这些笔记将迅速在网上传播。2006-2012年期间的大部分研讨会笔记被收集在卷《阿巴拉契亚集合理论2006-2012》中(剑桥大学出版社)。在规划这些讲习班时，将特别强调鼓励青年数学家和来自代表性不足群体的数学家参加。
