Collaborative Research: Midwest Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory Series

该奖项支持在一系列的三个周末会议在算术几何和数论的参与超过三年（暂定在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥，2020年11月7日至8日;密歇根大学，2021年10月9日至10日;和俄亥俄州州立大学，2022年10月22日至23日）。这个系列，题为“中西部算术几何和数论系列（MAGNTS）”的目的是汇集中西部大学的研究人员在不同的职业阶段。关于2019年会议的更多信息可以在magnts.org上找到。由数论或算术几何领域的知名研究人员提供的两门迷你课程（每门约三小时）之后，将由与迷你课程相关的领域的职业中期研究人员进行两次研究演示（每门一小时）。参与者将有机会在海报会议期间展示自己的研究，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，工业界和政府职位。通过这种设置，会议旨在让与会者接触前沿研究领域，并提供一个探索各种职业选择的机会，同时与具有类似数学背景的其他人建立联系。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.
