Clifford Lectures on Algebraic Groups: Structure and Actions

该奖项支持参加2015年3月2日至5日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良杜兰大学举行的Clifford Lessons on Algebraic Group：结构与行动会议。这次会议将促进几何和数论之间相互作用的研究。这次会议的一个重要目标是为研究生在代数群论、代数几何和数论领域的研究做准备，特别是提出论文项目。Clifford系列讲座是一个中等规模的会议，它为参与者提供了大量的互动机会。这种氛围是无价的，特别是对于研究生和初级研究人员来说。预计会议将导致与会者之间的积极合作，包括来自非授予博士学位的机构的学生和教职员工。主讲人是米歇尔·布里昂(法国格勒诺布尔大学)。他的演讲集中在任意域上的代数群的结构和作用，代数群论在代数几何(自同构群及其双态类似)和数论中的应用，以及齐次簇及其等变嵌入的各个方面(代数，代数组合学，几何)。会议网站：http://tulane.edu/sse/math/news/clifford-lectures-march-2015.cfm

This award supports participation in the conference "Clifford Lectures on Algebraic Groups: Structure and Actions" held March 2-5, 2015 at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference will stimulate research on the interplay between geometry and number theory. An important goal of this conference is to prepare graduate students for research in the areas of algebraic group theory, algebraic geometry, and number theory, in particular to suggest thesis projects. The Clifford Lecture Series is a medium-sized conference and it provides ample opportunities for its participants to interact with each other. This atmosphere is invaluable especially for graduate students and junior researchers new to the field. It is anticipated that the meeting will lead to active collaborations between the participants, including students and faculty from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions. The main speaker is Michel Brion (University of Grenoble, France). His talks focus on the structure and actions of algebraic groups over arbitrary fields, the applications of algebraic group theory to algebraic geometry (automorphism groups and their birational analogues) and number theory, and various aspects of homogeneous varieties and their equivariant embeddings (algebra, algebraic combinatorics, geometry).Conference web site: http://tulane.edu/sse/math/news/clifford-lectures-march-2015.cfm
