RTG: Numbers, Geometry, and Symmetry at Berkeley

该项目将包括围绕加州大学伯克利分校数论、几何和表示理论的研究小组组织的各种活动。这些学科研究数学方程的结构和对称性，并应用于(例如)密码学、代码、信号处理和物理。重点是培养研究生作为科学家、教育者和导师为社会做出贡献。更确切地说，RTG将用于组织每年一次的有外部专家参加的研究生研究讲习班，以及每周举行的研究研讨会，以了解最新的前沿发展。本科生研究经验暑期项目将为本科生提供宝贵的研究机会，并为研究生提供导师培训。博士后将被聘请来帮助领导这些活动。最后，该项目将资助与当地学校的接触。所有这些活动的核心目标是将学生和博士后培养成具有导师和被辅导者双重角色的强大劳动力，招募学生进入fiELD，并在代表不足的群体中具有良好的代表性，并为各级和跨ff不同领域的合作提供一个环境。该奖项反映了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。

The project will involve a variety of activities organized around the research groups in number theory, geometry, and representation theory at UC Berkeley. These subjects study the structure and symmetries of mathematical equations, and have applications to (for example) cryptography, codes, signal processing, and physics. There will be an emphasis on training graduate students to contribute to society as scientists, educators, and mentors. More precisely, RTG will be used to organize annual graduate research workshops, with external experts, as well as weekly research seminars to keep up-to-date on cutting-edge developments. Summer programs on Research Experiences of Undergraduates will provide valuable research exposure to undergraduates, and also mentorship training to graduate students. Postdocs will be hired to help lead these activities. Finally, the project will fund outreach to local schools. At the core of all these activities is the goal of training students and postdocs as strong workforce in their dual roles as mentors and mentees, recruiting students into the field with a good representation of underrepresented groups, and providing a setting for collaboration between all levels and across different areas.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.
