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月举行3天，有45-50名研究人员参加。这个年度系列会议于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职业数学家。每次会议都有邀请该领域专家的演讲，一个关于数学物理主题的迷你课程，参与者的贡献演讲，以及一个互动的职业发展小组。GLaMP系列的主要目标是：1)为数学物理领域的早期研究人员（包括高级本科生、研究生和早期职业博士后学者）提供一个论坛，以展示他们的研究成果并促进他们的职业发展；2)保持全美国，特别是中西部地区从事数学物理工作的科学家之间的交流与合作；3)鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参与数学物理领域；4)提高数学物理在美国数学界和科学界的研究地位。有关2024年会议的所有细节以及历届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。在二十世纪，在数学和物理的边界上有许多发展，例如散射理论、非相对论量子力学、构造量子场论、统计力学的基础，以及几何学和拓扑学在高能物理中的应用。该领域由国际数学物理协会支持，该协会每三年组织一次国际大会。虽然有许多数学物理学家在美国工作，但在美国很少有代表该领域的定期会议。GLaMP会议已经发展成为美国关注数学物理的主要年度会议。迷你课程的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、非自伴随算子和量子共振、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。除了地点之外，我们认为GLaMP会议的显著特点是其对早期职业研究人员的重视。大部分的演讲是由早期职业教师、博士后和高级研究生提供的。除了提供一个展示年轻研究人员工作的论坛外，GLaMP会议还提供职业发展机会，特别是通过由世界级专家提供的关于活跃研究领域的三小时迷你课程，以及由代表学术界和工业界数学物理不同职业道路的小组成员组成的职业圆桌会议。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。

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.
