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日在意大利文托泰内举行的研讨会“GRAZP：Zimmer计划周围的群体和刚性”。鉴于Zimmer项目最近取得的重大进展，会议的主要目标是及时召开研究人员会议，向与会者介绍这些进展并讨论新的方向。这次会议将有助于教育初级数学家对这些进步，并帮助他们把这个活跃的研究领域的前沿。该研讨会将包括三个小型课程的不同方面的群体和刚性周围的齐默计划，连同研究会谈，闪电会谈会议的格拉德生，一些讨论会和大量的时间进行非正式讨论。 与会者将包括来自与研讨会核心相关的不同领域的美国和欧洲领先研究人员，以及研究生和博士后的年轻研究人员。系列讲座将为研究人员提供一个机会，相互教育和研讨会的参与者在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绘制足够的相似之处，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。会议将有助于教育研究生和最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，女性数学家和其他代表性不足的群体的成员特别鼓励申请支持。该研讨会包括以下三个小型课程的主题有关的最新进展在齐默计划：1）Zimmer项目当前状态的更新（大卫费舍尔，莱斯大学），2）几何和Furstenberg边界上的晶格作用（Thang Nguyen，佛罗里达州立大学）和3）扶正器刚度（Amie威尔金森，芝加哥大学）。研讨会还将包括研究会谈和非正式讨论，以及为初级研究人员举办的闪电会谈。与会者将包括来自与研讨会中心相关的不同领域的美国和欧洲领先研究人员以及研究生和博士后的初级研究人员。 研讨会的网站可以在www.example.com上找到https://www.ventoteneinternationalworkshops.net/.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。

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.
