Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics

第32届自守形式研讨会（AFW）将于2018年3月19日至22日在塔夫茨大学举行。自守形式在数论和相关领域中起着核心作用，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和开始新合作的环境。许多自守形式的研究人员在AFW进行他们的第一次研究演讲，许多高级研究人员也参加了。该研讨会历史上也引发了研究合作，导致该领域的新发展。为了增加更广泛的受众，组织者已经推出了一个“训练营”将于3月18日举行。部分由于会议的位置就在波士顿郊外，第32届自守形式研讨会将吸引积极的研究人员，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。这将确保与会者的组合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。通常情况下，大约一半的与会者在AFW是在他们的职业生涯的早期阶段，约四分之一到三分之一的参与者是妇女。AFW将继续提供一个支持性和鼓励性的环境，以进行演讲，交流想法，并开始新的合作。 除了研究会谈，AFW将有两个专业发展小组的主题，如适当的数学写作，开始终身职位跟踪工作，形成合作，并从一个职业阶段过渡到下一个。组织者致力于继续促进一个包容性的，纵向一体化的环境;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。研讨会网站是http://automorphicformsworkshop.org/.This奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得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的支持。

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.
