Collaborative Research: Conference: Great Lakes Mathematical Physics Meetings 2024-2025

该奖项将支持2024年在密歇根州立大学和2025年在肯塔基大学举行的五大湖数学物理会议(GLAMP)的参与者。GLAMP会议通常在6月份举行，为期3天，有45-50名研究人员参加。这一年度会议系列于2016年在密歇根州立大学开始，重点关注从事数学物理工作的早期数学家。每次会议都有该领域专家的邀请演讲，数学物理主题的迷你课程，参与者的贡献演讲，以及互动的职业发展小组。GLAMP系列的主要目标是：1)为职业生涯早期的数学物理研究人员--包括高级本科生、研究生和职业生涯早期的博士后学者--提供一个论坛，介绍他们的研究并促进他们的职业发展；2)保持全美，特别是中西部地区数学物理科学家之间的交流与合作；3)鼓励女性和未被充分代表的少数群体参与数学物理领域；以及4)提高数学物理在美国数学和科学界的研究形象。有关2024年会议的所有细节和以往Glamp会议的网页链接可在https://sites.google.com/msu.edu/glamp/home.上找到。数学物理是最古老的科学学科之一，在世界范围内是一个非常活跃的领域，研究人员在数学系和物理系工作。这个领域的根源可以追溯到牛顿、欧拉和高斯的经典数学。在20世纪，在数学和物理的边界上有了许多发展，例如，在散射理论、非相对论量子力学、构造量子场论、统计力学的基础以及几何和拓扑学在高能物理中的应用。该领域得到了国际数学物理协会的支持，该协会每三年组织一次国际大会。尽管有许多数学物理学家在美国工作，但在美国代表该领域的定期会议很少。GLAMP会议已演变为美国主要的年度会议，重点是数学物理。微课主题包括非平衡量子统计力学、无序量子自旋链和多体局域化、非自伴算符和量子共振、非周期有序数学、随机矩阵理论和超对称技术、量子轨迹和数学广义相对论。除了地点，我们认为Glamp会议的显著特点是它强调了职业生涯早期的研究人员。大部分演讲是由职业生涯初期的教师、博士后和高级研究生完成的。除了提供一个展示年轻研究人员工作的论坛，GLAMP会议还提供了职业发展机会，特别是通过一个由世界级专家提供的关于活跃研究领域的三个小时的迷你课程，以及一个职业圆桌会议，小组成员代表了学术界和工业界在数学物理领域的不同职业道路。该奖项反映了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。

This award will support participants in the Great Lakes Mathematical Physics Meetings (GLaMP) in 2024 at Michigan State University and in 2025 at the University of Kentucky. The GLaMP meetings are typically held over 3 days in June, with an attendance of 45-50 researchers. The annual conference series, which began in 2016 at Michigan State, focuses on early-career mathematicians working in mathematical physics. Each meeting features invited talks by experts in the field, a minicourse on a topic in mathematical physics, contributed talks by participants, and an interactive career development panel. The main goals of the GLaMP series are: 1) to provide a forum for early-career researchers in mathematical physics – including advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and early-career postdoctoral scholars – to present their research and enhance their career development; 2) to maintain communication and collaboration among scientists working in mathematical physics throughout the United States and, in particular, in the greater Midwest; 3) to encourage participation by women and underrepresented minorities in the field of mathematical physics; and 4) to raise the research profile of mathematical physics within the mathematical and scientific community of the United States. All details about the 2024 meeting and links to web pages of previous GLaMP meetings can be found at https://sites.google.com/msu.edu/glamp/home. Mathematical Physics is one of the oldest scientific disciplines and is a very active field worldwide, with researchers working in both mathematics and physics departments. The roots of the field can be traced to the classical mathematics of Newton, Euler, and Gauss. In the twentieth century, there were many developments at the boundary between mathematics and physics, for example, in scattering theory, non-relativistic quantum mechanics, constructive quantum field theory, the foundations of statistical mechanics, and applications of geometry and topology to high energy physics. The field is supported by the International Association of Mathematical Physics, which organizes an international congress every three years. Although there are many mathematical physicists working in the United States, there are few regular conferences representing the field in the US. The GLaMP meetings have evolved to be the main annual meetings focused on mathematical physics in the US. Minicourse topics have included non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics, disordered quantum spin chains and many-body localization, non-self-adjoint operators and quantum resonances, the mathematics of aperiodic order, random matrix theory and supersymmetry techniques, quantum trajectories, and mathematical general relativity. Besides the location, we believe that the distinguishing feature of the GLaMP meeting is its emphasis on early-career researchers. The majority of contributed talks are given by early-career faculty, postdocs, and advanced graduate students. In addition to providing a forum that showcases the work of young researchers, the GLaMP meeting also offers career development opportunities, specifically through a three-hour mini-course on an active area of research given by a world-class expert and a career round table with panelists representing different career paths in mathematical physics, both in academia and in industry.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.
