The 2016 Gainesville International Number Theory Conference

为期五天的国际数论会议计划于2016年3月17日至21日在盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学举行。数论的研究有着悠久的历史，可以追溯到古希腊。近年来，数论的研究取得了重大进展，并在物理、计算和数据安全等其他领域取得了重要应用。其中一个进展是素数之间的差距。会议将以詹姆斯·梅纳德关于这个主题的三个讲座为特色。该会议延续了佛罗里达大学数论会议15年的传统。将有30多个40分钟和几个20分钟的研究报告。会议将特别关注本科生、研究生、博士后、女性和少数民族以及其他没有支持的人。会议将涵盖以下主题：q系列、分割和模形式、解析数论和代数数论。从历史上看，解析数论和组合/代数世界的分区和q-系列之间的协同作用是非常富有成效的，从哈代和拉马努金的合作开始。在整个20世纪和进入21世纪，我们看到一个领域丰富了另一个领域。例如，20世纪中期的工作者，如戴森和阿特金，发现这两个领域之间富有成效的互动，而本次会议的与会者沿着这些路线进一步互动的潜力是重要的和诱人的。 会议的演讲和论文将通过在会议网页上提供演讲和摘要以及出版经过评审的会议记录而广泛传播。更多信息可以在qseries.org/fgarvan/alladi60.html上找到。

A five-day international number theory conference is planned for March 17-21, 2016, at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Research in number theory has a long history going back to the ancient Greeks. Recently research in number theory has made significant advances and has made important applications to other areas such as physics, computing, and data security. One such advance has been on gaps between prime numbers. The conference will feature three lectures by James Maynard on this topic. The conference continues a 15-year tradition at the University of Florida of conferences in number theory. There will be over thirty 40-minute and several 20-minute research presentations. Special effort will be given to support undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, women and minority participants, and those who have no other support.The conference will cover the following topics: q-Series, partitions and modular forms, analytic number theory, and algebraic number theory. Historically the synergy between analytic number theory and the combinatorial/algebraic world of partitions and q-series has been extremely fruitful, starting with the collaboration of Hardy and Ramanujan. Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, we have seen each area enrich the other. For example, mid-twentieth century workers like Dyson and Atkin found fruitful interactions between these two areas, and the potential for further interactions along these lines by the participants in this conference is significant and tantalizing. The talks and papers of the conference will be widely disseminated by making presentations and abstracts available on the conference web page and by publishing a refereed conference proceedings.
