Number Theory Series in Los Angeles

洛杉矶数论系列的第一次会议将于2019年秋季在西方学院举行；第二次会议将于2020年2月在西方学院举行。第三次和第四次会议将分别于2020年秋末和2021年春季在南加州的一个机构举行。有关日期、当地信息、演讲者和日程安排的更多详细信息将发布在会议网站：http://jim-brown.oxycreates.org/NTS-LA上。每次会议的主题都是广义的数论。保持主题的广泛性的目的是鼓励在演讲者和与会者方面更多样化的参与者群体，并促进出席者之间的合作。每次会议将有两名全体会议发言人和一名研究生全体会议发言人。这些全体会议发言人将从南加州以外的地区选出。与该地区的其他数论会议不同，这些会议的主要重点将是来自所有类型机构的各级数学家的贡献演讲，包括本科生和研究生以及没有定期参加研讨会和研究基金的机构的教师。这些讲座将主要由南加州或驾车距离较近的数学家提供。虽然洛杉矶地区有许多研讨会，但没有此类研讨会的当地机构的教师往往找不到时间参加这些研讨会。此外，这些教师，以及本科生和研究生，通常没有机会在这些研讨会上展示他们的成果。洛杉矶数论系列的一个主要目标是向南加州的这些数学家提供一个机会，让他们听到来自该地区以外以及该地区其他人的杰出数学家的最新研究，并讲述他们自己的研究。这些会议将促进参与者之间的合作，并在南加州建立一个更加紧密和多样化的数论社区。美国国家科学基金会的资助使这个机会能够在不给参与者带来重大成本的情况下呈现。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The first meeting of the Number Theory Series in Los Angeles will take place at Occidental College in Fall, 2019; the second meeting will take place at Occidental College in February 2020. The third and fourth meeting will take place in late Fall, 2020 and Spring, 2021 respectively at an institution in Souther California. More detailed information about dates, local information, speakers, and schedules will be posted at the conference website: http://jim-brown.oxycreates.org/NTS-LA. The topic of each meeting is number theory, broadly construed. The intent of keeping the topic broad is to encourage a more diverse group of participants in terms of speakers and attendees, and to foster collaboration amongst those in attendance. Each meeting will feature two plenary speakers and one graduate student plenary speaker. These plenary speakers will be chosen from outside of Southern California. Unlike other number theory meetings in the region, the primary focus of these meetings will be on contributed talks from mathematicians at all levels from all types of institutions, including undergraduate and graduate students and faculty at institutions without regular access to seminars and research funds. The contributed talks will primarily be given by mathematicians located in Southern California or a reasonable driving distance. While there are numerous seminars in the Los Angeles region, faculty at local institutions without such seminars are often unable to find time to attend these seminars. In addition, these faculty, along with undergraduate and graduate students, are often not afforded the opportunity to present their results in these seminars. A primary goal of the Number Theory Series in Los Angeles is to present these populations of mathematicians in Southern California with an opportunity to hear about the latest research from prominent mathematicians from outside the region, as well as others in the region, and to speak about their own research. These meetings will foster collaborations among the participants and create a more tight knit and diverse community of number theorists in Southern California. NSF funding allows this opportunity to be presented without significant cost to the participants.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.
