Collaborative Research: Midwest Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory Series

该奖项支持参加为期三年的三次周末算术几何和数论会议(暂定于2020年11月7日至8日在芝加哥伊利诺伊大学、2021年10月9日至10日在密歇根大学和2022年10月22日至23日在俄亥俄州立大学举行)。这部名为《中西部算术几何与数论丛书》(MAGNTS)的丛书旨在将中西部大学不同职业阶段的研究人员聚集在一起。有关2019年大会的更多信息，请访问Maggts.org。每个会议都将有几个组成部分。由数论或算术几何的知名研究人员开设的两个迷你课程(每个约三个小时)之后，将由职业生涯中期的研究人员就与迷你课程相关的领域进行两个研究报告(每个一个小时)。参与者将有机会在海报会议上展示他们自己的研究，并将有一个职业小组，其中包括来自不同职业道路的人，包括学术界、行业和政府职位。通过这种设置，会议旨在让参与者接触尖端研究领域，并提供机会探索各种职业选择，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NSF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。

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.
