Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics

第32届自构形工作坊(AFW)将于2018年3月19日至22日在塔夫茨大学举行。自同构形式在数论和相关领域中发挥着核心作用，包括费马大定理的证明。AFW为研究人员提供了一个讨论新发展、向其他研究人员学习并开始新合作的环境。许多自构形式的研究人员在AFW上进行了他们的第一次研究演讲，许多资深研究人员也参加了。从历史上看，研讨会还引发了研究合作，导致了该领域的新发展。为了让更多的观众参与进来，主办方推出了将于3月18日举行的“训练营”。部分由于会议的地点就在波士顿郊外，第32届自构形研讨会将吸引活跃的研究人员，对他们来说，由于地理限制、时间限制或缺乏足够的资金，出席最近其他AFW是不切实际的。这将确保与会者的混合将为研讨会贡献新的视角，研讨会还吸引了多年来每年都参加的与会者。通常，AFW的参与者中约有一半处于职业生涯的早期阶段，约四分之一至三分之一的参与者是女性。AFW将继续为演讲、交流思想和开始新的合作提供一个支持和鼓励的环境。除了研究讲座，AFW还将有两个专业发展小组，主题包括正确的数学写作、开始终身教职跟踪工作、形成合作以及从一个职业阶段过渡到下一个阶段。组织者致力于继续促进一个包容的、垂直整合的环境；为此，他们正在引入训练营，以增强参加研讨会的早期职业研究人员的体验。研讨会网站是http://automorphicformsworkshop.org/.This奖，反映了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。

The 32nd Automorphic Forms Workshop (AFW) will be held March 19-22, 2018 at Tufts University. Automorphic forms play a central role in number theory and related areas, including the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The AFW provides a setting for researchers to discuss new developments, learn from other researchers, and begin new collaborations. Many researchers in automorphic forms give their first research talks at the AFW, and many senior researchers attend as well. The workshop has historically also sparked research collaborations leading to new developments in the field. To increase accessibility to a wider audience, the organizers have introduced a "bootcamp" to be held March 18th. Due in part to the location of the conference just outside Boston, the 32nd Automorphic Forms Workshop will attract active researchers for whom attendance at other recent AFWs was impractical because of geographical constraints, time constraints, or lack of sufficient funding. This will ensure that a mix of attendees will contribute new perspectives to the workshop, which also attracts attendees who have participated annually for many years. Typically, about half of the attendees at the AFW are at early stages of their careers, and about one-quarter to one-third of the participants are women. The AFW will continue to provide a supportive and encouraging environment for giving talks, exchanging ideas, and beginning new collaborations. In addition to research talks, the AFW will have two professional development panels on topics such as proper mathematical writing, starting a tenure track job, forming collaborations, and transitioning from one career stage to the next. The organizers are committed to continuing to facilitate an inclusive, vertically integrated environment; to this end they are introducing a bootcamp to enhance the experience of early-career researchers attending the workshop.
