Travel Grants for US Participants in the Mathematical Congress of the Americas, Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 19 - 24, 2021

为了支持参加将于2021年7月19日至24日在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的美洲数学大会（MCA），美国数学学会（AMS）将为美国（US）的数学家提供旅行补助金计划-这些数学家是美国机构的学生或教师或美国组织或公司的员工。该协会将努力通过利用其通信基础设施及其在数学界的连通性来吸引一个强大而多样化的申请人群体，并将努力确保来自STEM领域历史上代表性不足的群体的数学家得到特别关注。在选拔过程中，AMS希望优先考虑早期职业申请人。MCA是一个四年一度的聚会，于2013年发起，目标是“在国际上突出美洲数学成就的卓越性，并促进美洲研究人员，学生，机构和数学学会之间的合作。“会议由美洲数学理事会管理，该理事会是一个由遍布北美、南美、中美洲和加勒比海国家的20多个学会、研究所和机构组成的网络。第三届大会将吸引来自西半球和世界其他地区的顶级数学家。它将提供一个很好的机会，在广泛的数学领域的思想交流，并为美国在国际竞技场的代表。美国维持其高度重视的研究奋进，部分是通过促进其公民参与国际会议。MCA为这种参与提供了一个极好的机会，无论是既定的研究人员还是那些将成为未来研究领导者的人。那些前往布宜诺斯艾利斯的人将能够亲自分享他们的研究成果，并从美洲各地的同行那里获得新的想法，从而丰富了半球和世界范围内的数学发现奋进。MCA 2021的组织者预计将有大约1000名来自西半球和世界其他地区的与会者。六位全体演讲人是Ian Agol（美国伯克利加州大学）、Julia Chuzhoy（美国芝加哥丰田技术学院）、卡洛斯Kenig（美国芝加哥大学）、Allan Sly（美国普林斯顿大学）、Claire Voisin（法国法兰西学院）和Miguel沃尔什（阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学）。二十二位特邀演讲者代表了诸如代数几何、分析、概率、遍历理论、微分几何、偏微分方程、相对论和引力、数值分析、图论和组合学、应用计算分析、复解析几何、动力系统、Riemann流形、代数拓扑、几何、随机微积分、分形几何、数论、模型论、统计力学、和神经科学会议将包括一系列广泛的特别会议主题，预计时间表将包括多个小组和海报会议以及社会和文化活动。MCA也是颁发MCA奖、美洲奖和所罗门莱夫谢茨奖章的场合。大会为早期职业数学家提供了一个极好的机会，分享他们的知识，获得新的想法，并与国际舞台上的同行和名人互动。关于MCA 2021的当前信息在www.mca2021.org上，AMS旅行补助金计划在www.example.com上详细介绍https://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca.This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来支持。

To support participation in the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA), to be held July 19 – 24, 2021 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) will administer a travel-grant program for mathematicians based in the United States (US)—those who are students or faculty in US institutions or employees of US organizations or companies. The Society will strive to draw a robust and diverse applicant pool by utilizing its infrastructure of communications and its connectivity in the mathematical community, and it will work to ensure that mathematicians from groups historically underrepresented in STEM areas receive particular attention. In the selection process, AMS expects to give priority to early-career applicants. MCA is a quadrennial gathering, initiated in 2013, with the goal "to internationally highlight the excellence of mathematical achievements in the Americas and foster collaborations among researchers, students, institutions, and mathematical societies in the Americas." The conference is administered by the Mathematical Council of the Americas, a network of over twenty societies, institutes, and agencies throughout North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean nations. This third Congress will draw top-tier mathematicians from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world. It will provide an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas in a broad array of mathematical areas and for the US to be well represented in the international arena. The US sustains its highly-regarded research endeavor, in part, by fostering the participation of its citizens in international conferences. MCA presents an excellent opportunity for such participation, both by established researchers as well as those who will become the research leaders of the future. Those traveling to Buenos Aires will be able to share in person the results of their research and garner new ideas from their counterparts from across the Americas, thereby enriching the hemispheric and worldwide endeavor of mathematical discovery. The organizers of MCA 2021 anticipate approximately one thousand attendees from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world. The six plenary speakers are Ian Agol (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Julia Chuzhoy (Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, USA), Carlos Kenig (University of Chicago, USA), Allan Sly (Princeton University, USA), Claire Voisin (Collège de France, France), and Miguel Walsh (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina). Twenty-two Invited Speakers represent such topical areas as algebraic geometry, analysis, probability, ergodic theory, differential geometry, partial differential equations, relativity and gravitation, numerical analysis, graph theory and combinatorics, applied computational analysis, complex analytic geometry, dynamical systems, Riemann manifolds, algebraic topology, geometry, stochastic calculus, fractal geometry, number theory, model theory, statistical mechanics, and neuroscience. The conference will include a wide array of special session topics, and it is anticipated that the schedule will include multiple panel and poster sessions as well as social and cultural events. The MCA is also the occasion for awarding the MCA Prize, the Americas Prize, and the Solomon Lefschetz Medals. The Congress presents a splendid opportunity for early-career mathematicians to share their knowledge, garner new ideas, and interact with counterparts and luminaries on the international stage. Current information about MCA 2021 is at www.mca2021.org, and the AMS travel grant program is detailed at https://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca.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.
