DMS-0346038朗兰兹，Robert P.摘要标题：几何、组合学和代数小组本提案涉及一个为期三天的会议，“几何、组合和代数小组”，以纪念罗伯特·麦克弗森的60岁生日，会议将于2004年6月3日、4日和5日在新泽西州普林斯顿的高级研究所举行。组织委员会由Robert Langland、Pierre Deligne和MarkGoresky组成。拟议会议的目标是(1)汇聚对几何技术有共同兴趣的不同学科的学者，(2)描述麦克弗森学派年轻数学家的最新成就。预计听众将由来自许多不同领域的数学家组成，演讲者被要求进行调查演讲，以便于如此广泛和不同的听众访问。本次会议的大部分资金将用于支持研究生和博士后数学家。这些讲座预计将向研究生和博士后学者开放。将鼓励妇女、任职人数不足的少数群体和残疾人参加。

DMS-0346038Langlands, Robert P.AbstractTitle: Geometry, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Groups This proposal concerns a three-day conference, "Geometry, Combinatorics and AlgebraicGroups" on the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Robert MacPherson to be held duringthe period of June 3, 4 and 5, 2004 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NewJersey. The organizing committee consists of Robert Langlands, Pierre Deligne and MarkGoresky.The objectives of the proposed conference are (1) to bring together scholars from avariety of disciplines with a common interest in geometric techniques and (2) to describesome of the recent achievements of younger mathematicians in MacPherson's school. It isexpected that the audience will consist of mathematicians from many different fields, andthe speakers have been requested to deliver survey talks designed to be accessible to sucha wide and varied audience. A substantial portion of the funding for this confernce will be directedtowards the support of graduate students and postdoctoral mathematicians. The lecturesare expected to be accessible to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Theparticipation of women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities will beencouraged.
