Conference: Ventotene International Workshops VI, GRAZP: Groups and Rigidity Around the Zimmer Program

该项目支持美国数学家参加将于2023年9月11日至16日在意大利文托特内举行的“GRAZP：齐默计划周围的群和刚性”研讨会。鉴于齐默计划最近取得的重大进展，会议的主要目标是召开一次及时的研究人员会议，向与会者介绍这些进展并讨论新的方向。这次会议将帮助初级数学家了解这些进展，并帮助他们走到这个活跃研究领域的前沿。研讨会将包括三个关于Zimmer项目的不同方面的小组和刚性的迷你课程，以及研究讲座，研究生闪电讲座，一些讨论会议和大量的非正式讨论时间。参与者将包括来自与研讨会核心相关的不同领域的领先美国和欧洲研究人员，以及年轻的研究人员，包括研究生和博士后。该系列讲座将为研究人员和研讨会参与者提供一个相互教育的机会，了解该领域的技术和最新进展。在研讨会结束时，我们希望参与者能够在不同的技术之间找到足够的相似之处，以便能够使用它们，并从主题之间的相互作用中开辟新的研究方向。会议将帮助教育研究生和新近的博士在该领域的最新发展，并把他们带到研究的最前沿。大部分资金将用于支持来自美国的初级参与者。组委会将鼓励和支持广泛和多样化的参与。特别是，特别鼓励女数学家和其他代表性不足群体的成员申请支持。研讨会包括以下三个关于Zimmer计划最新进展的小课程：1)Zimmer计划的最新进展（大卫·费舍尔，赖斯大学），2)几何和芙丝汀宝边界上的晶格作用（Thang Nguyen，佛罗里达州立大学）和3)扶正器刚性（Amie Wilkinson，芝加哥大学）。研讨会还将包括研究讲座和非正式讨论，以及初级研究人员的闪电讲座。参与者将包括来自与研讨会核心相关的不同领域的领先美国和欧洲研究人员，以及初级研究人员，包括研究生和博士后。研讨会的网站可在https://www.ventoteneinternationalworkshops.net/.This上找到。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，认为值得支持。

This project supports participation of US based mathematicians in the workshop "GRAZP: Groups and Rigidity Around the Zimmer Program" which will take place from September 11-16, 2023 in Ventotene, Italy. In light of the recent major advances in the Zimmer program, the main goal of the conference is to have a timely meeting of researchers to educate participants on these advances and discuss new directions. The conference will help educate junior mathematicians about these advances and help bring them to the forefront of this active research area. The workshop will consist of three minicourses on different aspects of Groups and Rigidity Around the Zimmer Program, together with research talks, a lightning talks session for grad students, some discussion sessions and plenty of time for informal discussions. Participants will include leading U.S. and European researchers from the different areas related to the centerpiece of the workshop, as well as younger researchers, both graduate students and postdocs. The lecture series will provide an opportunity for the researchers to educate each other and the workshop participants about techniques and recent advances in the area. By the end of the workshop we expect the participants to be able to draw enough parallels between the different techniques to be able to put them to use and open new directions of research stemming from the interaction among the topics. The conference will help to educate graduate students and recent PhDs on the latest developments in the field and bring them to the forefront of research. The majority of funding will support junior participants coming from the USA. The organizing committee will encourage and support broad and diverse participation. In particular, women mathematicians and members of other under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply for support.The workshop include the following three minicourses on topics related to recent advances in the Zimmer program: 1) An update on the current state of the Zimmer program (David Fisher, Rice University), 2) Actions of lattices on geometric and Furstenberg boundaries (Thang Nguyen, Florida State University) and 3) Centralizer rigidity (Amie Wilkinson, University of Chicago). The workshop will also feature research talks and informal discussions and a lightning talk session for junior researchers. Participants will include leading U.S. and European researchers from different areas relevant to the centerpiece of the workshop as well as junior researchers, both graduate students and postdocs.
