RTG: Numbers, Geometry, and Symmetry at Berkeley

该项目将涉及围绕加州大学伯克利分校数论、几何和表示理论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、编码、信号处理和物理学。将重点培养研究生作为科学家、教育家和导师为社会做出贡献。更确切地说，RTG将用于组织与外部专家的年度研究生研究讲习班，以及每周研究研讨会，以保持最新的前沿发展。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，也为研究生提供指导培训。将聘请博士后来帮助领导这些活动。最后，该项目将资助向当地学校推广。所有这些活动的核心目标是培养学生和博士后作为强大的劳动力，在他们的双重角色，导师和学员，招募学生进入该领域与代表性不足的群体，并提供各级和不同领域之间的合作设置。该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，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.
