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。数论的研究可以追溯到古希腊人的悠久历史。近年来，数论的研究取得了重大进展，并在物理、计算和数据安全等领域有了重要的应用。素数之间的差距就是这样一种进步。会议将由詹姆斯·梅纳德就这一主题发表三次演讲。这次会议延续了佛罗里达大学15年来数论会议的传统。将有30多个40分钟的研究报告和几个20分钟的研究报告。会议将特别努力支持本科生、研究生、博士后学者、女性和少数族裔参与者，以及那些没有其他支持的人。会议将涵盖以下主题：Q级数、分拆和模形式、解析数论和代数数论。历史上，从Hardy和Ramanujan的合作开始，解析数论与划分和Q-级数的组合/代数世界之间的协同非常卓有成效。在整个二十世纪和二十一世纪，我们看到两个领域相互促进。例如，20世纪中叶，像戴森和阿特金这样的工作者发现了这两个领域之间卓有成效的互动，这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。会议的发言和文件将通过在会议网页上提供演示文稿和摘要，并出版经审阅的会议记录来广泛传播。欲了解更多信息，请访问qSeries es.org/fgarvan/alladi60.html。

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.
