The conference "Singularities in Ann Arbor", scheduled for May 13-17, 2024, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, will explore recent progress in the study of singularities in algebraic geometry. Algebraic geometry, in simple terms, concerns itself with studying geometric objects defined by polynomial equations. This conference will focus on several recent advances concerning singularities: these are points where the geometric objects behave in unexpected ways (such as the bumps or dents on a normally flat surface). Understanding these singularities not only satisfies intellectual curiosity but also plays a crucial role in classifying and comprehending global complex geometric structures. More details about the conference, as well as the list of confirmed lecturers, are available on the conference website, at https://sites.google.com/view/singularitiesinaa.The conference will feature four lecture series presented by leading experts and rising stars in the field, covering recent advancement related to singularities. These lectures will introduce fresh perspectives and tools, including Hodge Theory, D-modules, and symplectic topology, to address challenging questions in algebraic geometry. The conference aims to make these complex ideas accessible to a younger audience, fostering engagement and understanding among participants. Additionally, the conference will provide a platform for young researchers to showcase their work through a poster session, encouraging collaboration and discussion among participants. This award will provide travel and lodging support for about 35 early-career conference participants.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.

“安娜堡奇点”会议定于2024年5月13日至17日在密歇根大学安娜堡分校举行，会议将探讨代数几何中奇点研究的最新进展。简单地说，代数几何关注于研究由多项式方程定义的几何对象。这次会议将集中讨论有关奇点的几个最新进展：这些奇点是几何对象以意想不到的方式表现的点(如正常平面上的凸起或凹陷)。理解这些奇点不仅满足了人们的好奇心，而且对分类和理解全球复杂的几何结构也起着至关重要的作用。关于会议的更多细节，以及已确认的讲师名单，可在会议网站上查阅，https://sites.google.com/view/singularitiesinaa.The会议将有四个讲座系列，由该领域的领先专家和后起之秀发表，涵盖与奇点有关的最新进展。这些讲座将介绍新的观点和工具，包括霍奇理论、D-模和辛拓扑，以解决代数几何中具有挑战性的问题。这次会议的目的是让年轻观众能够接触到这些复杂的想法，促进与会者之间的参与和理解。此外，会议将为年轻研究人员提供一个平台，通过海报展示他们的工作，鼓励与会者之间的合作和讨论。这一奖项将为大约35名早期职业会议参与者提供差旅和住宿支持。这一奖项反映了NSF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。
