Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory (BEST) Conference, Boise State University

博伊西集合论盛会（BEST）是由博伊西州立大学主办的集合论年会。它自1992年开始以来一直持续运行，是北美唯一一个主要致力于集合论的定期会议。会谈和与会者是集理论研究在北美的代表，主题范围从largecardinals，基数不变量的连续，核心模型，精细结构，描述集理论，集理论拓扑和分析，迫使公理和组合学。会议的规模很小-大约20名与会者，大多数是演讲-允许非正式的气氛和集合论各个领域的代表之间的讨论。一般形式是一个为期三天的会议。四个邀请的会谈，每个约50分钟，分布在整个会议与其余的短贡献会谈consisting。国家科学基金会的资金用于支付受邀演讲者的费用，并帮助那些没有自己形式的旅行支持的人，特别是研究生，支付当地和旅行费用。组织者真诚地努力邀请妇女、少数民族和该领域的非政府组织成员。

The Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory (BEST) is an annualconference in Set Theory hosted by Boise State University. It hasrun continuously since it began in 1992 and is the only regularconference in North America devoted primarily to Set Theory. Thetalks and the participants are representative of set theoreticresearch in North America with topics ranging from largecardinals, cardinal invariants of the continuum, core models,fine structure, descriptive set theory, set theoretic topologyand analysis, forcing axioms, and combinatorics. The small scaleof the conference --- about 20 participants, most presentingtalks --- allows for an informal atmosphere and encouragesdiscussion between the representatives of various areas of settheory. The general format is that of a three day conference. Fourinvited talks running approximately 50 minutes each are spreadthroughout the conference with the remainder of the scheduleconsisting of shorter contributed talks. NSF funds are used tocover the expenses of the invited speakers and to help defray thelocal and travel expenses of those who do not have their own formof travel support, especially graduate students. The organizersmake a sincere effort to invite women, minorities, and youngmembers of the field.
