Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms Conference Series

该奖项支持德克萨斯州-俄克拉荷马州代表和自守形式（TORA）会议系列的参与者将于2016年4月8日至10日在德克萨斯州丹顿的北德克萨斯大学（UNT）举行; 2017年秋季在斯蒂尔沃特的俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）; 2018年秋季在诺曼的俄克拉荷马州大学（OSU）。 每次TORA会议将有三位全体演讲嘉宾，包括来自俄克拉荷马州-德克萨斯州地区以外的两位杰出的领先研究数学家以及最近的博士学位。或即将完成博士学位的研究生。此外，区域研究生和研究人员将介绍他们的工作。这些周末会议将为该地区的学生和研究人员提供充分的合作和互动机会，专门从事数论，自守形式和表示论。自守形式是现代数论的基本研究对象。 自守形式和表示论之间的相互作用最近出现了一些非常令人兴奋的新发展，这些发展也推动了其他几个领域的应用。J.亚瑟关于正交群和辛群表示的内窥镜分类的工作就是这种新发展的一个例子。 来自俄克拉荷马州和北德克萨斯州地区的六所大学的研究人员从事自守形式和表示理论的研究。TORA系列会议成功地将该地区及其他地区的研究人员及其学生聚集在一起，推动创新和交流。TORA VII-IX将继续这一成功的合作和交流，不仅机构之间，而且数学领域之间。 2016年会议的网页可以在这里找到http://www.math.unt.edu/~richter/TORA/TORA7.html。

This award supports participants in the Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms (TORA) conference series will take place at the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, TX, April 8-10, 2016; at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, OK in Fall 2017; and at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, OK in Fall 2018. Each TORA conference will feature three plenary guest speakers consisting of two outstanding leading research mathematicians from outside the Oklahoma-Texas region as well as a recent Ph.D. or a graduate student nearing completion of a Ph.D. In addition, regional graduate students and researchers will present their work. These weekend conferences will provide ample opportunities for collaboration and interactions among the students and researchers in the region, specializing in number theory, automorphic forms and representation theory. Automorphic forms are basic objects of study in modern number theory. The interplay between automorphic forms and representation theory has seen a number of very exciting new developments recently which also fuel applications to several other fields. J. Arthur's work on endoscopic classification of representations of the orthogonal and symplectic groups is an example of such new developments. Research faculty from over a half dozen universities in the Oklahoma and North Texas region work in automorphic forms and representation theory. The TORA conference series has been successful in bringing together researchers from the region and beyond, as well as their students, and propel innovation and exchange. TORA VII-IX will continue this success in collaborations and exchanges not only between institutions, but also among mathematical areas.
