Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium (GPOTS - 2004); May 26-30, 2004; College Station, TX

Larson这个奖项是为2004年5月26日至30日在得克萨斯A M大学举行的数学会议，大平原算子理论研讨会[GPOTS]提供部分资金。GPOTS是一个年度会议（24岁），每年5月在不同的大学举办。虽然这个名称具有“区域”性质，但它已演变成真正的国际范围的名称。德克萨斯农工大学已同意提供会议设施，当地资金将支付全体发言人的费用。演讲室和住房已经在当地安排好了。我们从国家科学基金会寻求的资金将专门用于为其他参与者提供部分支持，重点是博士后，研究生和年轻的教师，他们正在进行出色的研究，但可能没有当前的赠款。全体发言人将是世界级的研究人员和专家，他们的选择强调与会者感兴趣的突破领域和应用。八位全会发言者已经接受了我们的发言邀请。许多经常参加的人会做简短的演讲，包括一些正在攻读博士学位的研究生。预计将有100至150人参加。得克萨斯州农工大学GPOTS-2004地方组委会的七名成员是：罗纳德道格拉斯、埃里斯·戴克玛、大卫·拉森、卡尔·皮尔西、吉勒·皮西尔、罗杰·史密斯和尼科·斯普龙克。

AbstractLarsonThis award is for partial funding for a Mathematics conference, the Great PlainsOperator Theory Symposium [GPOTS], to be held at Texas A&M University on the dates May26-30, 2004. GPOTS is an annual conference (24 years old) that is hosted every year in May ata different university. Although the name is of a "regional" character, it has evolved into aconference of a true international scope. Texas A&M University has agreed to provide theneeded facilities, and local funding will cover the expenses of the plenary speakers. Localarrangements for lecture rooms and housing have already been made. The funding we seek fromNSF will be used specifically to provide partial support for the other participants, with emphasison postdocs, graduate students, and younger faculty who are doing excellent research but may nothave current grants. The plenary speakers will be world-class researchers and expositors whoselectures emphasize break-through areas and applications of interest to the participants. Eightplenary speakers have already accepted our invitation to speak. Many of the regular participantswill give shorter talks, including a number of graduate students currently working on theirdoctorates. We expect between 100 and 150 participants. The seven members of the GPOTS-2004 local organizing committee at Texas A&M University are: Ronald Douglas, KennethDykema, David Larson, Carl Pearcy, Gilles Pisier, Roger Smith, and Nico Spronk.
