Conference: Fairfield Algebra Regional Meeting (FARM)

该奖项支持参加2023年12月2日在康涅狄格州费尔菲尔德举行的群论会议。这次会议是计划中的年度会议系列的开幕会议，该系列会议将轮流关注代数的各个领域。今年第一年的主题是群论，它是一个非常活跃的数学领域，具有重要的应用，例如在密码学中。这一活动将有助于促进在新英格兰和纽约大都市区建立一个有凝聚力的代数社区。NSF的资金将用于研究生、博士后研究员和早期职业教师的旅行支持。这次会议旨在重新创造代数领域的本地人际交往机会，并为早期职业数学家创造指导机会。由于新冠肺炎疫情，代数领域的交流变得不那么频繁了。费尔菲尔德代数地区会议(FARM)的第一次会议将包括为期一天的一系列演讲。将有四次更长的全体会议(45分钟或更长时间)。还将为受邀演讲者和来稿演讲者提供三个半小时的演讲时段(并行进行)。这些讲座将为展示不同职业生涯阶段的数学家提供机会。本课程将介绍群论的各种不同领域，包括应用群论、有限群、无限群和几何群论。更多信息可在会议网站上获得，http://faculty.fairfield.edu/pbaginski/FARM2023/index.htmlThis奖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 conference on group theory in Fairfield, CT on December 2nd, 2023. This conference is the inaugural meeting of a planned annual conference series that will focus on various fields of algebra, on a rotating basis. Group theory, the theme of this first year, is a very active field of mathematics with important applications such as in cryptography. This event will help facilitate the creation of a cohesive algebraic community in New England and the New York metropolitan area. The NSF funding will allow for travel support of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty. The meeting is intended to re-create local networking opportunities in algebra, which became less frequent as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to create mentoring opportunities for early career mathematicians. The first meeting of the Fairfield Algebra Regional Meeting (FARM) will consist of a series of talks for a daylong event. There will be four longer plenary talks (45 minutes or longer). There will also be three slots for half-hour talks for invited speakers and contributed talks (run in parallel). The talks will give the opportunity to showcase mathematicians from different career stages. A variety of different areas of group theory will be represented, including applied group theory, finite groups, infinite groups, and geometric group theory. More information is available at the conference website http://faculty.fairfield.edu/pbaginski/FARM2023/index.htmlThis 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.
