1995 Joint U.S.-Venezuela Conference: Combinatorial Set Theory and its Consequences

9503676拉森这项美国-委内瑞拉合作计划奖将资助11名美国科学家参加1995年6月在荷属安的列斯库拉索岛举行的会议的旅费和相关费用。参与者包括九名资深科学家、两名博士后助理和一名研究生。组织者是佛罗里达大学的Jean A.Larson博士和Venzolano de Investigacones Cientifias研究所的Carlos A.de Prisco博士。会议将集中讨论组合集合论及其应用。它旨在刺激现有的合作，并在美国和委内瑞拉的研究人员之间启动新的项目。组合集合论是现代集合论的核心。为了研究集合宇宙的基本结构而发展起来的技术和结构也适用于数理逻辑的其他领域，以及代数、拓扑和分析。虽然代数和拓扑学的某些领域的进展长期以来一直与集合论密切相关，但最近应用范围已经扩大到包括调和分析和拓扑学中的辫子群等领域。本次会议将寻求在这些趋势的基础上再接再厉，并激励可能在日益狭窄的专业领域工作的个人。除了国家科学基金会和委内瑞拉国家科学技术委员会(CONICIT)的支持外，加勒比数学基金会还将资助来自欧洲联盟和拉丁美洲其他地区的参与者的费用。***

9503676 Larson This U.S.-Venezuela Cooperative Program award will support travel and related expenses for eleven U.S. scientists to participate in a conference to be held in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, in June 1995. The participants include nine senior scientists, two postdoctoral associates, and one graduate student. Organizers are Dr. Jean A. Larson, University of Florida and Dr. Carlos A. de Prisco, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas. The conference will focus on combinatorial set theory and its applications. It is designed to stimulate existing collaborations and to initiate new projects between researchers in the U.S. and Venezuela. Combinatorial Set Theory is at the heart of modern day set theory. The techniques and constructions developed to look at the basic structure of the universe of sets also find applications to other areas of mathematical logic and to algebra, topology and analysis. While progress in certain areas of algebra and topology have long been closely tied to set theory, recently the range of applications has broadened to include such areas as harmonic analysis and the braid group in topology. This meeting will seek to build on those trends and stimulate individuals who may be working in increasingly narrow specializations. Besides support from the NSF and the Venezuelan National Council for Science and Technology (CONICIT), the Caribbean Mathematics Foundation will support expenses for participants from the European Union and from other parts of Latin America. ***
