Mid-Atlantic Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics Workshop

该基金为中大西洋代数、几何和组合学（MAAGC）研讨会的演讲者和参与者提供支持，下一次研讨会将于2017年5月5日至6日在德雷塞尔大学举行。MAAGC是在费城举行的年度系列会议，汇集了高级研究人员和初级数学家，以促进合作和区域互动，同时强调代数，几何和组合学的最新重大发展。每届MAAGC研讨会都邀请了四位来自北美各地的杰出数学家，就代数组合学、代数几何、表示理论和其他相关领域的新进展发表演讲。除了这些受邀的讲座之外，还有一个针对初级参与者的海报会议，一个为处于不同职业阶段的数学家提供具体而及时的专业建议的小组讨论，以及大量的非结构化时间来建立数学合作。MAAGC研讨会旨在通过促进研究型大学和大西洋中部小型学院的学生、博士后和教师之间的积极互动，加强和连接代数、几何和组合学的科学界。我们的目标是在整个地区包括更多的研究生和博士后参与者，为早期职业研究人员提供了解该领域最新趋势的机会，传播他们自己的工作，建立专业联系，并推进新的数学结果。因此，大部分预算用于资助没有其他经济支持手段的学生和年轻研究人员，优先考虑同时展示海报的参与者。这笔资金将支持MAAGC系列会议三年（2017年、2018年、2019年）。更多信息请访问MAAGC网站http://www.maagc.info。

This grant provides support for speakers and participants in the Mid-Atlantic Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics (MAAGC) workshop, the next of which will take place at Drexel University on May 5-6, 2017. MAAGC is an annual conference series held in Philadelphia which brings together senior researchers and junior mathematicians to promote collaborations and regional interactions, while highlighting recent significant developments in algebra, geometry, and combinatorics. Each MAAGC workshop has brought four outstanding mathematicians from across North America to give talks about new advances in algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, representation theory, and other related fields. In addition to these invited lectures, there is a poster session for junior participants, a panel discussion featuring concrete and timely professional advice for mathematicians at varying stages in their careers, and plenty of unstructured time for forging mathematical collaborations.MAAGC workshops are designed to strengthen and connect the scientific communities in algebra, geometry, and combinatorics by facilitating positive interactions among students, postdocs, and faculty at research universities as well as small colleges in the Mid-Atlantic. We aim to include even more graduate student and postdoctoral participants throughout the region, providing early career researchers the opportunity to learn about recent trends in the field, disseminate their own work, build professional connections, and advance new mathematical results. The majority of the budget is thus dedicated toward funding students and young researchers without other means of financial support, prioritizing participants who also present posters. This grant will support the MAAGC conference series for three years (2017, 2018, 2019).More information is available on the MAAGC website at http://www.maagc.info.
