Collaborative Research: Oregon Number Theory Days

这个奖项是为了支持俄勒冈州数论日，一个联合研讨会系列将在俄勒冈州，俄勒冈州州立大学，和波特兰州立大学举行。对于本研讨会系列的第一年，研讨会将于2017年10月21日星期六在波特兰州立大学举行，于2018年2月24日星期六在俄勒冈州州立大学举行，并于2018年4月21日星期六在俄勒冈州大学举行。俄勒冈州数论日主要针对位于俄勒冈州威拉米特谷地区的区域研究生、博士后和数论教师。每个主办机构每年举办三期研讨会，目标是在三年内每年举办三次研讨会，每一期一次。演讲者将是杰出的研究人员在数论，或直接感兴趣的数论相关领域，谁也被称为是特殊的监护人。他们代表了一个国际上多样化的数学家群体，就各种各样的主题发表演讲，包括对俄勒冈州当地数论家已经研究过的主题的补充。特别是，如果没有这个研讨会系列，这些主题是更难访问的数学家在俄勒冈州。当地博士后研究员和高级研究生也将被邀请发言，并在一个令人鼓舞的环境中介绍他们的最新研究。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离。这对学生和博士后教师参加会议和研讨会的旅行构成了重大的财政挑战。俄勒冈州数论日将由国际知名数论专家就当前的研究课题进行演讲，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，它将有助于在威拉米特山谷地区的数论研究人员之间建立一种强烈的社区意识。本次研讨会系列将举办一个不同的与会者和发言者群体。俄勒冈州数论日的组织者认为，提供杰出数学家的广泛代表性是招募和发展学术界代表性不足群体的重要因素。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加。该奖项将主要用于支持本地研究生和博士后研究员前往主办机构的差旅费。

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.
