Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics

第32届自同构表单研讨会（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的合作的环境。许多自同构形式的研究人员在AFW上发表了他们的第一次研究报告，许多资深研究人员也参加了会议。从历史上看，该研讨会还引发了研究合作，导致该领域的新发展。为了吸引更多的观众，组织者将于3月18日举办“训练营”。由于会议地点在波士顿郊外，第32届自同构形式研讨会将吸引活跃的研究人员，因为地理限制，时间限制或缺乏足够的资金，参加其他最近的afw是不切实际的。这将确保与会者将为研讨会贡献新的观点，这也吸引了多年来每年参加的与会者。一般来说，AFW的参与者中约有一半处于职业生涯的早期阶段，大约四分之一到三分之一的参与者是女性。AFW将继续提供一个支持和鼓励的环境，进行会谈，交换意见，并开始新的合作。除了研究会谈，AFW还将有两个专业发展小组，主题包括正确的数学写作、开始终身职位、形成合作以及从一个职业阶段过渡到下一个职业阶段。主办方致力于继续营造一个包容、垂直一体化的环境；为此，他们正在引入一个训练营，以提高参加研讨会的早期职业研究人员的经验。研讨会的网站是http://automorphicformsworkshop.org/.This，该奖项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 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.
