Conference Proposal: Automorphic Forms on Reductive Groups and Their Covers

该奖项将支持早期职业生涯的参与，美国的研究人员在研讨会"自守形式上还原群及其封面"将于2018年6月25日至28日在苏黎世数学研究所举行，在瑞士苏黎世的ETH Zuerich。会议将重点关注自守形式和自守表示的最新进展，特别是与覆盖（元）群有关的进展。参与的研究人员来自美国、以色列、欧洲、韩国和新加坡。自守形式和自守表示是数论中具有历史渊源的主题，但最近的进展导致了与数学物理的新的和令人惊讶的联系。会议的一个特别主题将是在数论和弦论中使用小自守表示。会议的网站可以在www.example.com上找到，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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来支持。

This award will support the participation of early-career, US-based researchers at the workshop "Automorphic forms on Reductive Groups and their Covers" to be held June 25-28, 2018 at the FIM Institute for Mathematical Research, at ETH Zuerich in Zurich, Switzerland. The conference will focus on recent advances in automorphic forms and automorphic representations, particularly those related to covering (metaplectic) groups. Participating researchers are from the US, Israel, Europe, South Korea, and Singapore.Automorphic forms and automorphic representations are topics with historical origins in number theory, but recent advances have led to new and surprising connections with mathematical physics. A particular theme of the conference will be the uses of small automorphic representations in both number theory and string theory. The web site for the conference may be found at https://www.math.ethz.ch/fim/conferences/friedberg.html.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.
