The Eighteenth Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic

该奖项将支持美国的参与-第十八届拉丁美洲数理逻辑研讨会（Simposio Latino Americano de Logica Matematica，或SLALM）的研究人员于2019年12月16日至20日在智利的孔塞普西翁大学举行。 SLALM系列由亚伯拉罕·罗宾逊（Abraham Robinson）在20世纪60年代构思，自那时起，SLALM会议就断断续续地举行，通常每两到四年举行一次，总是在拉丁美洲举行。 这些会议一直在该地区的逻辑学科的增长在这段时间内，也在鼓励北美和南美的逻辑社区之间的合作，因为来自美国和加拿大的研究人员经常参加SLALM。 随着这种接触的扩大，交流也取得了丰硕的成果：美国最顶尖的逻辑学家包括出生在巴西和乌拉圭的研究人员，而美国-出生的逻辑学家已经在哥伦比亚等国获得了永久性的工作，还有相当多的研究人员在这些地区之间旅行，以获得博士后职位。 这个特殊的NSF奖项将支持八到十名美国逻辑学家参加2019年SLALM，重点是学生和初级研究人员，并优先考虑来自数学代表性不足的群体的研究人员。 该奖项将由符号逻辑协会管理，该协会自成立以来一直支持SLALM系列，最近使SLALM成为正式的ASL会议，为邀请着名演讲者提供财政支持，以表彰拉丁美洲逻辑的发展。 2019年SLALM将包括八个全体会议，四个迷你课程和四个特别会议：可计算性和计算机科学;模型理论;哲学和非经典逻辑;和集合论。 特别会议包括著名的特邀演讲者，并在其中年轻的研究人员将有机会介绍他们的工作贡献的会谈。 SLALM网站：http://slalmxviii.udec.clThis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。

This award will support the participation of U.S.-based researchers at the Eighteenth Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic (the Simposio Latino Americano de Logica Matematica, or SLALM) at the Universidad de Concepcion in Chile on December 16-20, 2019. The SLALM series was conceived by Abraham Robinson in the 1960's, and SLALM meetings have been held intermittently since then, usually every two to four years, always in Latin America. These meetings have been instrumental in the growth of the discipline of logic in the region during that time, and also in encouraging cooperation between the logic communities in North and South America, as researchers from the U.S. and Canada frequently attend the SLALM. With the expansion of this contact has come fruitful exchange: the very top ranks of logicians in the U.S. these days include researchers born in Brazil and Uruguay, while U.S.-born logicians have taken permanent jobs in countries such as Colombia, and a substantial further number of researchers have traveled between the regions for postdoctoral positions. This particular NSF award will support the attendance of eight to ten US-based logicians at the 2019 SLALM, with an emphasis on students and junior researchers, and with preference for researchers from groups underrepresented in mathematics. The award will be administered by the Association for Symbolic Logic, which has supported the SLALM series since its inception and which recently made the SLALM an official ASL meeting, providing financial support for it to invite prominent speakers, in recognition of the growth of logic in Latin America. The 2019 SLALM will include eight plenary talks, four mini-courses, and four special sessions: computability and computer science; model theory; philosophy and non-classical logics; and set theory. The special sessions include prominent invited speakers and also contributed talks in which younger researchers will have the opportunity to present their work.
