ANTS XIV: Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium 2020

该奖项为美国大学的早期研究人员(没有其他NSF支持的研究生、博士后和终身教职人员)提供资金，以参加2020年6月29日至7月4日在新西兰奥克兰大学举行的第14届算法数论研讨会(ANTS-XIV)。自1994年以来，蚂蚁会议每两年举行一次，是计算数论新研究的主要国际论坛。作为一个成熟的会议系列，ANTS吸引了最高质量的邀请和贡献的演讲，并作为一个论坛，传播整个研究社区在计算数论和密码学的数论方面的新想法和技术。除了在理论数学中的大量应用外，这些领域通过与计算机安全的现实世界的联系而具有巨大的重要性。ANTS会议致力于数论的算法方面，包括初等数论、代数数论、解析数论、数的几何、算术代数几何、模形式、有限域，以及数论在密码学中的应用。参与者包括数学和计算机科学的学术研究人员，以及从事密码学和其他应用领域工作的工业数学家；同样，所介绍的主题既包括纯主题，也包括应用主题。对来稿讲稿的审查过程和随后编写的会议记录卷提供了所提交结果的文件，其质量可与国际数学研究期刊相媲美。该奖项资助美国的研究人员参加这一重要活动。有关这次会议的更多信息可以在https://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~sgal018/ANTS/This上找到，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides funds for early-career researchers (graduate students, postdocs, and tenure-track faculty not having other NSF support) based at US universities to attend the fourteenth edition of the Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium (ANTS-XIV) held June 29 - July 4, 2020 at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The ANTS meetings, held biannually since 1994, are the premier international forum for new research in computational number theory. As an established conference series, ANTS attracts invited and contributed lectures of the highest quality, and serves as a forum for dissemination of new ideas and techniques throughout the research community in the area of computational number theory and number-theoretic aspects of cryptography. In addition to numerous applications to theoretical mathematics, these fields have immense importance through real world connections to computer security.The ANTS meetings are devoted to algorithmic aspects of number theory, including elementary number theory, algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, geometry of numbers, arithmetic algebraic geometry, modular forms, finite fields, and applications of number theory to cryptography. Participants include academic researchers in both mathematics and computer science, as well as mathematicians in industry who work on cryptography and other areas of application; similarly, the topics presented include both pure and applied topics. The review process for contributed lectures and the subsequent production of a proceedings volume provides documentation of the presented results at a quality level comparable to an international research journal in mathematics. This award funds US-based researchers to participate in this premier event. Funding priority will be given to those contributing papers or posters; the organizers also seek to actively promote participation by women and underrepresented minorities.More information about the conference can be found at https://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~sgal018/ANTS/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.
