Research Workshops, UCONN Special Semester in Probability

作为2018年概率论特别专题学期的一部分，康涅狄格大学数学系将在概率论的三个突出领域举办全国性的研究研讨会：1)二聚体模型和可积分概率的最新进展，2018年8月15日至16日，艾弗里波因特校区；2)数学金融，2018年10月12日至13日，斯托斯校区；3)功能性不等式，2018年11月2日至3日，斯托斯校区。研究工作坊由这项拨款资助，并补充由系里资助的特别学期的其他活动（包括公开讲座和座谈会系列）。每次研讨会将邀请一组各自领域的杰出领导人。讲习班的目标是将来自全国各地和处于其职业生涯各个阶段的研究人员聚集在一起，传播思想、合作和建立网络，并直接接触受邀的演讲者。将给予早期职业研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员特别的关注、关注和资助机会。具体来说，这笔资金将用于支持每个研讨会大约10名早期职业参与者。参与者将有机会为特别学期的会议记录做出贡献，并出现在Birkhauser系列《概率论进展》的一卷中。这些讲习班将在网上（例如IMS会议网站和mathprograms.org）、通过电子邮件名单和网络，特别是妇女参与概率网络（womeninprobability.org）和北美妇女概率学家的邮寄名单，以及通过会议通告、给同事的电子邮件和海报广泛宣传。关于特别学期和研究研讨会的更多细节可以在probsem18.math.uconn.edu（临时网址draft.probsem18.math.uconn.edu）上找到。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

As part of a special thematic semester in probability in 2018, the mathematics department at the University of Connecticut will be holding research workshops of national scope in three prominent areas of probability theory: 1) Recent Progress on Dimer Model and Integrable Probability, Aug 15-16 2018, Avery Point campus; 2) Mathematical Finance, Oct 12-13 2018, Storrs campus; 3) Functional Inequalities, Nov 2-3 2018, Storrs campus. The research workshops are supported by this grant and complement the other activities in the special semester (including a public lecture and colloquia series), funded by the department. Each workshop will feature a group of invited distinguished leaders in the respective area. The goals of the workshops are to bring together researchers from all parts of the country and at all stages of their career to disseminate ideas, collaborate and network, having direct access to the invited speakers. Particular focus, attention and funding opportunities will be given to early-career researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups. Specifically, this grant will be used to support about ten early-career participants per workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the proceedings from the special semester, to appear in a volume of the Birkhauser series Progress in Probability. The workshops will be widely advertised online (e.g. IMS meetings website and mathprograms.org), through email lists and networks, specifically the Women in Probability network (womeninprobability.org) and the mailing list of women probabilists in North America, as well as through announcements in meetings, emails to colleagues, and posters. More details on the special semester and the research workshops can be found on probsem18.math.uconn.edu (temporary URL draft.probsem18.math.uconn.edu)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.
