Collaborative Research: Oregon Number Theory Days

该奖项是为了支持俄勒冈数字理论日，这是在俄勒冈大学、俄勒冈州立大学和波特兰州立大学举办的联合研讨会系列。对于本系列研讨会的第一年，研讨会将于2017年10月21日星期六在波特兰州立大学、2018年2月24日星期六在俄勒冈州立大学和2018年4月21日星期六在俄勒冈大学举行。俄勒冈州数论日主要面向位于俄勒冈州威拉米特山谷地区的地区数论研究生、博士后和教师。每个主办机构的运作时间表为每年三期，目标是每年举办三次研讨会，每学期一次，为期三年。演讲者将是数论或数论家直接感兴趣的相关领域的杰出研究人员，他们也是众所周知的杰出的说明者。他们代表了国际上不同的数学家群体，就各种各样的主题发表讲话，包括与俄勒冈州当地数字理论家已经研究的主题相辅相成的主题。特别是，如果没有这一系列研讨会，俄勒冈州的数学家就更难接触到这些话题。当地的博士后研究员和高级研究生也将被邀请在一个鼓舞人心的环境中发表他们的最新研究成果。俄勒冈州拥有越来越多的数论研究人员和学生，但它是一个人口较少的州，在地理上与传统的主要活动中心隔绝。这对参加会议和研讨会的学生和博士后教职员工来说是一个巨大的经济挑战。俄勒冈州数论日将由知名国际数论专家就当前的研究主题发表演讲，这将对居住在俄勒冈州的学生、博士后和教师大有裨益。此外，它还将有助于在威拉米特山谷地区的数论研究人员中建立一种强烈的社区意识。这一系列研讨会将接待不同的与会者和演讲者。俄勒冈州数字理论日的组织者认为，提供杰出数学家的广泛代表是学术界招募和发展代表不足群体的一个重要因素。俄勒冈州数论日将欢迎每一个感兴趣的参与者，并将特别鼓励研究生参与。这项奖励将主要用于资助当地研究生和博士后研究员到主办机构的旅费。

This award is to support Oregon Number Theory Days, a joint seminar series to be held at University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Portland State University. For the first year of this seminar series the workshops be held at Portland State University on Saturday, October 21, 2017, at Oregon State University on Saturday, February 24, 2018, and at the University of Oregon, On Saturday, April 21, 2018. Oregon Number Theory Days are targeted primarily at regional graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in number theory located in the Willamette Valley area in the state of Oregon. Each of the host institutions operates on a schedule of three terms per year, and the goal is to hold three seminars per year, one seminar per term, over the course of three years. The speakers will be distinguished researchers in number theory, or related fields of direct interest to number theorists, who are also known to be exceptional expositors. They represent an internationally diverse group of mathematicians, speaking on a wide variety of topics, including topics that are complementary to those already studied by local number theorists in Oregon. In particular, without this seminar series, these topics are harder to access by mathematicians in Oregon. Local postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students will also be invited to speak and present their most recent research in an encouraging environment. Oregon is home to a growing community of researchers and students in number theory, but it is a low-population state which is geographically isolated from the traditional major centers of activity. This poses a significant financial challenge to students and postdoctoral faculty members for travel to conferences and workshops. Oregon Number Theory Days will feature presentations by high-profile international number theory experts on current research topics, which will be of great benefit to students, postdocs, and faculty residing in Oregon. In addition, it will help build a strong sense of community among the number theory researchers within the Willamette Valley area. This seminar series will host a diverse group of participants and speakers. The organizers of Oregon Number Theory Days believe that providing a broad representation of distinguished mathematicians is an important factor in the recruitment and development of underrepresented groups in academia. Oregon Number Theory Days will welcome every interested participant, and will particularly encourage graduate students to participate. This award will primarily be used to support the traveling expenses of local graduate and postdoctoral fellows to the hosting institutions.
