Conference on Infinite Dimensional Lie Theory and Conformal Field Theory

摘要该奖项将部分支持2000年5月21日至25日在弗吉尼亚大学举行的一次会议。会议将集中讨论数学中的无限维李论与物理中的共形场论之间的相互作用。在过去的二十年里，这一领域有相当多的活动，丰富了这两门科学。会议将围绕三位国际领导人在各自领域提供的三门迷你课程进行，并辅以额外的一小时会谈。这是一个重要的领域，会议将允许许多研究生和年轻的研究者从该领域的领导者那里获得第一手的知识。

AbstractParshallThis award will partially support a conference to be held at the University of Virginia, May 21-25, 2000. The conference will focus on the interaction between infinite dimensional Lie theory in mathematics and conformal field theory in physics. There has been considerable activity in this area in the past two decades that has been enriching for both sciences. The conference will be structured around three mini-courses delivered by three international leaders in their respective areas, and complemented by additional one hour talks. This is an important area, and the conference will allow many graduate students and young investigators to gain first hand knowledge from the areas' leaders.
