Conference Proposal: Automorphic Forms on Reductive Groups and Their Covers

该奖项将支持职业生涯早期的美国研究人员参加将于2018年6月25日至28日在瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院数学研究所举行的研讨会《关于还原基团及其覆盖的自同构形式》。会议将集中讨论自同构形式和自同构表示的最新进展，特别是那些与覆盖(亚普勒群)有关的研究。参与研究的研究人员来自美国、以色列、欧洲、韩国和新加坡。自同构形式和自同构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理论中使用小的自同构表示。会议的网站可以在https://www.math.ethz.ch/fim/conferences/friedberg.html.This网站上找到，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。

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.
