Conference: The web of modularity

该奖项支持将于2024年2月22日至25日在杜兰大学举行的“模块化网络”会议。本次会议将与每年由杜兰大学数学系主办的年度Clifford讲座同时举行。2024年，“克利福德讲座”将由小野健主讲。会议的目标是将在不同背景下研究模形式的研究人员聚集在一起，强调模形式经典理论的不同应用，并将在模形式和数论领域从事不同但相关问题的研究人员聚集在一起。近年来，各种类型的模形式在各种活跃的数学研究领域中发挥了重要作用，包括有限域上的高斯超几何函数、整数划分、模拟模形式、结理论以及微分方程和数学物理中出现的函数的模块化。通过联合在这些领域做出重大贡献的专家，本次会议将探索模块化形式研究前沿的新视角。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，认为值得支持。

This award supports the conference "The Web of Modularity", to be held at Tulane University on February 22-25, 2024. This conference will be held in conjunction with the annual Clifford Lectures, hosted every year by the Tulane Math Department. In 2024, the Clifford Lectures will be given by Ken Ono. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers working with modular forms in a variety of contexts, emphasizing the diverse applications of the classical theory of modular forms and bringing together researchers working on different but related problems in the areas of modular forms and number theory. In recent years, modular forms of various types have played an important role in diverse and active research areas in mathematics, including Gaussian hypergeometric functions over finite fields, integer partitions, mock modular forms, knot theory, and the modularity of functions arising in differential equations and mathematical physics. By uniting experts who have made significant contributions to these areas, this conference will explore novel perspectives at the forefront of modular forms research.Conference website: https://sites.google.com/view/clifford-lectures-24/homeThis 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.
