Recent Developments in Noncommutative Algebra and Related Areas

该奖项支持参加将于2018年3月17日至19日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学举行的“非对易代数及相关领域的最新发展”会议。这次会议的目的是总结最近的发展，并为进一步发展新的道路，在几个活跃的当前感兴趣的主题，与其他学科，如组合学，代数几何和数学物理。会议将聚集在非对易代数及其相关领域的研究人员，即代数几何，表示理论和拓扑。会议的焦点将是几个重要课题的新研究方向，如非对易代数几何、Hopf代数和量子群、非对易不变理论、更高范畴理论和数学物理的代数方面。将作出特别努力，将目前在不同方向工作的一批初级研究人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体聚集在一起，并通过协作让他们参与跨学科活动。更多信息可在会议网站上找到：https://sites.math.washington.edu/~zhang/SeattleRDncAR2018/index.htmlThis奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports participation in the conference "Recent developments in noncommutative algebra and related areas", which will be held March 17-19, 2018 at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. The purpose of the conference is to survey recent developments and to chart new paths for further progress on several topics of active current interest in noncommutative algebra, with broad connections to other subjects such as combinatorics, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics.The conference will bring together researchers who work in noncommutative algebra and related areas, namely, algebraic geometry, representation theory and topology. The focus of the conference will be new research directions of several important topics such as noncommutative algebraic geometry, Hopf algebras and quantum groups, noncommutative invariant theory, higher category theory, and algebraic aspects of mathematical physics. Special effort will be made to bring together a group of junior researchers, women and underrepresented minorities, who are currently working in different directions, and to engage them in interdisciplinary activity through collaboration. More information can be found at the conference website: https://sites.math.washington.edu/~zhang/SeattleRDncAR2018/index.htmlThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
