Conference on Geometric and Combinatorial Methods in Group Theory and Semigroup Theory

本提案是为支持一个关于群论和半群论中的几何和组合方法的国际会议提供部分资金。 会议的目的是汇集几位世界领先的研究人员，他们对群和半群及其与拓扑，几何，符号动力学和符号计算的联系感兴趣。重点将放在渐近性质和算法问题。这次会议是在一个领域，是在群论和半群理论（整体和局部对称性的数学研究）和计算之间的接口。 在这些设置中的算法问题的研究是密切相关的“计算的复杂性”的理解。 会议将于2000年5月15日至5月19日在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校举行。 将有大约20个邀请一小时的讲座和几个贡献的会谈。将作出特别努力，支持研究生和博士后研究员的参与。

AbstractThis proposal is for partial funding to support an international conference on geometric and combinatorial methods in group theory and semigroup theory. The aim of the conference is to bring together several of the world's leading researchers with research interests in groups and semigroups and their connections with topology, geometry, symbolic dynamics and symbolic computation. Emphasis will be on asymptotic properties and algorithmic problems.This conference is in a field that is at the interface between group theory and semigroup theory (the mathematical study of global and local symmetry) and computation. The study of algorithmic problems in these settings is closely related to the understanding of "complexity of computation". The conference will be held on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during the period May 15 - May 19, 2000. There will be around 20 invited one hour lectures and several contributed talks. Special efforts will be made to support participation by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
