Collaborative Research: Midwest Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory Series

该奖项支持在三年内参加一系列算术几何和数论的三个周末会议（暂定在芝加哥伊利诺伊大学，2020年11月7日至8日；密歇根大学，2021年10月9日至10日；和俄亥俄州立大学，2022年10月22日至23日）。这个名为“中西部算术几何和数论系列（MAGNTS）”的系列旨在将中西部大学处于不同职业阶段的研究人员聚集在一起。关于2019年会议的更多信息可以在magnts.org上找到。每次会议将由几个部分组成。由数论或算术几何领域的资深研究人员讲授的两门迷你课程（每门大约三小时）之后，将由与迷你课程相关领域的职业中期研究人员讲授两门研究报告（每门一小时）。参与者将有机会在海报环节展示自己的研究成果，并将有一个由来自不同职业道路的人组成的职业小组，包括学术界、工业界和政府职位。通过这种设置，会议旨在让参与者接触到最前沿的研究领域，并提供一个探索各种职业选择的机会，同时与其他具有类似数学背景的人建立联系。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。

This award supports participation in a series of three weekend conferences in arithmetic geometry and number theory over three years (tentatively scheduled at the University of Illinois at Chicago, November 7-8, 2020; the University of Michigan, October 9-10, 2021; and the Ohio State University, October 22-23, 2022). This series, titled "Midwest Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory Series (MAGNTS)" aims to bring together the researchers of the Midwest universities at various career stages. More information about the 2019 conference can be found at magnts.org.Each conference will have several components. Two mini-courses (approximately three hours each) by established researchers in number theory or arithmetic geometry will be followed by two research presentations (one hour each) by mid-career researchers in areas related to the mini-courses. The participants will get a chance to present their own research during a poster session, and there will be a career panel featuring people from various career paths, including academia, industry, and government positions. Through this setup, the conferences aim to expose the participants to cutting-edge research areas, as well as to provide an opportunity to explore various career options while networking with others of similar mathematical backgrounds.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.
