Conference Proposal: Kylerec Student Workshop in Symplectic and Contact Geometry

这个国家科学基金会奖为2018年和2019年举行的下两个Kylerec学生研讨会提供部分支持。Kylerec研讨会旨在介绍辛几何和接触几何领域的有抱负的数学家，并从许多机构到充满活力的研究领域，促进合作，在年轻研究人员之间形成强大的研究联系，从而促进未来的合作和研究。该研讨会是专门设计的，以鼓励在辛和接触几何领域的研究人员的多样化的发展。这是一个为期一周的密集讲习班，所有活动都在同一个屋檐下进行。讲座由研究生参与者在三到四名导师的帮助下进行，他们是该领域的新兴专家研究人员。2018年，研讨会将于5月25日至5月31日在华盛顿州莱文沃思的莱文沃思旅馆举行，由乌普萨拉的托马斯·克拉格（Thomas Kragh）、乌普萨拉的罗伯塔·瓜达格尼（Roberta Guadagni）、乌普萨拉的托马斯·克拉格（Thomas Kragh）、乌普萨拉的托马斯Penn.），Jingyu Zhao（Brandeis）和Kyler Siegel（MIT）。该主题是附近的拉格朗日猜想，这是一个中心的余切丛的辛拓扑的开放问题，并已在最近的技术发展的主题。本次研讨会的目的是了解这个问题的最新技术水平：包括所使用的技术工具，如福谷类别，以及一些更广泛的哲学，已经出来的工作对这个问题。讲座笔记和更多信息将在网站www.example.com上提供https://kylerec.wordpress.com/.This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 National Science Foundation award provides partial support for the next two Kylerec student workshops to be held in 2018 and 2019. The Kylerec workshop aims to introduce aspiring mathematicians in the fields of symplectic and contact geometry and from many institutions to vibrant areas of research, fostering collaboration, forming strong research ties between young researchers, and thus promoting future collaboration and research. The workshop is specifically designed to encourage the development of a diverse group of researchers in the fields of symplectic and contact geometry. It is a week-long intensive workshop, in which all activities occur under one roof. The lectures are delivered by the graduate student participants with the help of three to four mentors, who are emerging expert researchers in the field. This setup enhances communication skills, encourages active involvement of the participants and forging new collaborations.In 2018, the workshop will be held from May 25 to May 31 in the Leavenworth Lodge in Leavenworth, WA, and will be mentored by Thomas Kragh (Uppsala), Roberta Guadagni (U. Penn.), Jingyu Zhao (Brandeis) and Kyler Siegel (MIT). The topic is the nearby Lagrangian conjecture, which is a central open question about the symplectic topology of cotangent bundles, and has been a nexus for much of the recent technical development in the subject. The objective of this workshop is to understand the state of the art in this problem: including both the technical tools utilized, such as Fukaya categories, as well as some of the broader philosophy that has come out of work on this problem. Notes from the lectures and further information will be available on the website https://kylerec.wordpress.com/.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.
