Collaborative Research: AGNES: Algebraic Geometry NorthEastern Series

该奖项支持参加六次AGNES（代数几何东北系列）会议，这些会议将于2017年4月21日至23日在石溪大学、2017年秋季在东北大学、2018年春季在罗格斯大学、2018年秋季在布朗大学、2019年春季在马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校和2019年秋季在波士顿学院举行。AGNES是由东北大学协会在轮换地点组织的半年一次的代数几何会议。AGNES的指导目标是向研究生介绍当前代数几何研究的广泛范围。在实现这一目标的同时，AGNES已成为美国代数几何的重要中心。该会议在促进合作方面有着广泛的记录，并开发了新的工具来培训和指导代数几何领域的未来领导者。这些活动包括研究生小型学校、职业小组、面向初级参与者（包括本科生）的海报展示，以及专门针对数学科学领域代表性不足的群体成员的活动。代数几何是研究多项式方程解集的数学科学的一个分支。它与纯数学的许多其他领域有很深的联系，如拓扑学、算术、数论、微分几何、动力系统和同调代数。同时，代数几何在应用数学和计算机科学（计算机视觉、几何复杂性理论、代数统计中的数值方法等）中也有重要的应用。每次AGNES会议的核心研究活动将是邀请演讲者进行7-8次演讲，展示代数几何的不同方面。AGNES的科学范围将通过邻近数学学科（如算术几何、动力学、复杂几何和计算几何）的讲座和上述各种支持活动进一步扩大。更多信息可在会议网站上找到：http://www.agneshome.org/

This award supports participation in six AGNES (Algebraic Geometry Northeastern Series) conferences which will be held at Stony Brook University on April 21-23, 2017, at Northeastern University in Fall 2017, at Rutgers University in Spring 2018, at Brown University in Fall 2018, at University of Massachusetts Amherst in Spring 2019, and at Boston College in Fall 2019. AGNES is a semi-annual algebraic geometry meeting organized at a rotating location by an association of northeastern universities. A guiding goal of AGNES is to introduce graduate students to a broad spectrum of current research in algebraic geometry. While meeting this goal, AGNES has become an important center for algebraic geometry in the US. The conference has an extensive record of promoting collaboration and has developed new tools for training and mentoring future leaders in algebraic geometry. These consist of graduate mini-schools, career panels, poster presentations for junior participants (including undergraduate students), and events specifically targeting members of groups that are under-represented in the mathematical sciences.Algebraic geometry is a sub-field of mathematical sciences that studies solution sets of polynomial equations. It has deep connections to many other areas of pure mathematics, such as topology, arithmetic, number theory, differential geometry, dynamical systems, and homological algebra. At the same time algebraic geometry has found important applications in applied mathematics and computer science (computer vision, geometric complexity theory, numerical methods in algebraic statistics, etc). The centerpiece research activity of each AGNES meeting will be 7-8 invited lectures given by speakers showcasing different facets of algebraic geometry. The scientific scope of AGNES will be further expanded by lectures from neighboring mathematical subjects (such as arithmetic geometry, dynamics, complex geometry, and computational geometry) and by the various supporting activities described above.
