Witt Vectors, Deformations, and Absolute Geometry

维特向量，变形和绝对几何会议将于2018年7月16日至2018年7月21日在佛蒙特大学举行。该研讨会将促进研究互动，并将为研究生以及更年轻和更成熟的数学家提供一个环境，以了解最新的趋势，并与世界各地一些最杰出的研究人员进行互动。组织者将重点资助研究生和早期职业研究人员，以促进他们的参与。本次会议的科学目的是汇集研究人员在几个不同的领域，其工作与维特向量及其相关的建设。这些技术是重要的变形理论技术扩展到新的设置和促进研究活动的接口代数几何，代数拓扑，数论和应用模型理论。这次会议的网站是http://www.uvm.edu/~tdupuy/witt2018.html。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The conference on Witt Vectors, Deformations, and Absolute Geometry will be held at the University of Vermont, 16 July 2018-21 July 2018. This workshop will foster research interactions and will provide a setting for graduate students, as well as younger and more established mathematicians, to learn of the newest trends and interact with some of the most prominent researchers around the world. The organizers will focus financial support on graduate students and early career researchers to facilitate their participation.Scientific purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers in several, disparate fields whose work is connected to Witt vectors and their related constructions. These techniques are important for extending deformation theoretic techniques to new settings and promotes research activities at the interface of algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, number theory, and applied model theory. A website for this meeting is maintained at http://www.uvm.edu/~tdupuy/witt2018.html. The slides from the conference will be posted there and left publicly available.This 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.
