This award will provide support for the conference "Finite Geometry and Extremal Combinatorics" which will be held at University of Delaware from August 21 to August 24, 2019. The conference will focus on finite geometry, extremal combinatorics, and their interactions with other subareas of combinatorics. Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with properties of finite structures. It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from logic to statistical physics, from evolutionary biology to computer science, etc.The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from finite geometry and extremal combinatorics in one setting to discuss recent developments. It is expected that there will be considerable cross-fertilization of ideas leading to people learning new problems and new techniques from each other. The conference will feature seven invited speakers who are leading experts in the aforementioned areas of combinatorics. There also will be 18 contributed talks. Particular efforts will be made by the PI and the co-PIs to encourage junior and/or female researchers to attend and speak at this conference. Further details about the conference can be found at the conference website https://www.mathsci.udel.edu/fgec19This 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.

该奖项将为将于2019年8月21日至8月24日在特拉华大学举行的《有限几何与极值组合学》会议提供支持。会议将集中讨论有限几何、极值组合数学，以及它们与组合数学其他子领域的相互作用。组合学是一个主要研究有限结构性质的数学领域。它与数学的许多其他领域密切相关，并有许多应用，从逻辑到统计物理，从进化生物学到计算机科学等。这次会议的目标是将有限几何和极值组合数学的研究人员聚集在一个环境中，讨论最近的发展。预计将会有相当大的思想交流，导致人们相互学习新问题和新技术。这次会议将邀请7位演讲者，他们是上述组合学领域的领先专家。还将有18场贡献演讲。主计委和共同主计长将作出特别努力，鼓励初级和/或女性研究人员出席本次会议并在会上发言。有关会议的更多细节可以在会议网站上找到，https://www.mathsci.udel.edu/fgec19This奖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。
