Southeastern Number Theory Meetings

2016年9月中旬，计划在2016-2017学年举行的三次东南数字理论会议中的第一次将在北卡罗来纳大学格林斯伯勒分校或南卡罗来纳州斯帕坦堡的沃福德学院举行。南卡罗来纳大学哥伦比亚分校将在2016年12月的第一个周末主办第二次会议。第三次会议将于2017年4月在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的北佛罗里达大学或弗吉尼亚州刘易斯堡的华盛顿和李大学举行。有关这些会议的更多信息，包括地点、日期、发言者名单、与会者名单和注册信息，将在会议主页上链接(如下)。定于2016年举行的会议将是棕榈数理论系列http://www.math.sc.edu/~boylan/seminars/pantshome.html的第26和第27次会议，该系列会议始于2006年，由南卡罗来纳州的两个旗舰研究机构--棕榈州的南卡罗来纳大学和克莱姆森大学联合管理。2017年春季会议将是东南地区数字http://www.math.clemson.edu/~kevja/SERMON/，会议的第30次会议，该会议是始于1988年的更大的地区性会议。最近的会议平均有40-60人参加。会议包括参与者就当前数论所有领域的研究进行的演讲，包括解析数论、算术几何、自同构和模形式。这些主题反映了在东南部工作的数学家的研究兴趣。每次会议都有国内和国际公认的该领域领导者的全体演讲，研究生和博士后研究人员的特邀演讲，以及包括本科生和研究生以及初级和高级教职员工在内的各级数学家的大量贡献演讲。来自东南部以外的数字理论家将发表受邀的和全体演讲，而地区研究人员将发表大部分贡献的演讲。东南数论会议的一个主要目标是为东南部数论界的成员提供一个机会，了解数论中新的和重要的研究，并传播他们自己的研究。社区中的学生和初级研究人员尤其受益于这些会议。这些会议加强了他们的知识基础，向更广泛的受众展示了他们的工作，并向他们提供了有洞察力的意见和来自其他与会者的反馈。来自国家科学基金会的资金使组织者能够以较低的个人参与者成本实现他们的目标。这些会议将地区性数学家纳入社区，他们可能几乎没有资金进行专业旅行，比如不授予博士学位的机构的研究生和教职员工。组织者将继续努力吸引人口结构多样化的参与者基础，包括妇女和种族和少数民族。

In mid-September of 2016, the first of three Southeastern Number Theory Meetings planned for the 2016-2017 academic year will be held at either the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Greensboro, NC, or at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. The University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC will host the second meeting on the first weekend of December 2016. The third meeting will be held in April 2017 at either the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL, or at Washington and Lee University in Lewisburg, VA. Further information on these meetings including the locations, dates, lists of speakers, lists of participants, and registration information will be linked to the conference home pages (below) as it becomes available.The conferences slated for 2016 will be the 26th and 27th meetings of the Palmetto Number Theory Series http://www.math.sc.edu/~boylan/seminars/pantshome.html , which is a series of meetings started in 2006 and managed jointly by the University of South Carolina and Clemson University, the two flagship research institutions in South Carolina, the Palmetto State. The Spring 2017 meeting will be the 30th meeting of the Southeast Regional Meeting on Numbers http://www.math.clemson.edu/~kevja/SERMON/, which is a larger regional meeting started in 1988. Recent meetings have averaged 40 - 60 participants. The meetings consist of participant talks on current research in all areas of number theory, including analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and automorphic and modular forms. These topics reflect the research interests of number theorists working in the Southeast. Each meeting features plenary talks by nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the field, invited talks by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and a larger number of contributed talks by mathematicians at all levels including undergraduate and graduate students, and junior and senior faculty. Number theorists from outside the Southeast will give the invited and plenary talks, while regional researchers will give most of the contributed talks. A primary goal of the Southeastern Number Theory Meetings is to provide members of the number theory community in the Southeast with an opportunity to learn about new and significant research in number theory and to disseminate their own research. Students and junior researchers in the community particularly benefit from the meetings. The meetings strengthen their knowledge base, expose their work to a wider audience, and give them insightful input and feedback from other participants. Funding from the NSF allows the organizers to achieve their goals at a low cost to individual participants. These meetings integrate regional mathematicians into the community who may have little or no funds for professional travel such as graduate students and faculty at institutions that do not award Ph.Ds. The organizers will continue efforts to attract a demographically diverse participant base including women and racial and ethnic minorities.
