Collaborative Research: Operator Algebras and Applications

摘要GPOTS系列一直以来都是研究生、刚毕业的博士和博士后研究问题的来源。它一直吸引着大量年轻的研究人员。组织者一直在努力吸引代表性不足的群体的成员。中佛罗里达大学数学系韩德广和他的分析小组在图像和信号检测理论的小波方面与位于奥兰多的洛克希德马丁ATI部门建立了密切的合作关系，后者对本次会议及其将算子理论应用于小波的主题表现出极大的兴趣。GPOTS-2005可以对加强佛罗里达州大学和工业界之间的合作活动产生影响。与GPOTS系列相关的高级人员都有明确的博士学位生产记录，并且他们都有一些来自代表性不足的群体的博士生，包括女性。所有学校都致力于招收和留住数学专业的妇女和少数民族学生。Raul Curto最近获得了由爱荷华大学平权行动办公室颁发的催化剂奖（2000年），以表彰在UI社区内丰富多样性的人。爱荷华大学现在的毕业生人数中有25%是少数族裔学生。在AGEP拨款的帮助下，爱荷华大学最近与阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州的姐妹机构联合起来，成立了一个非裔美国人数学科学博士培养联盟，并帮助支持面向本科生的reu型活动。如果得到支持，这两次GPOTS会议将促进这些活动，这些活动对研究界代表性不足的群体的参与至关重要。中部地区大学让研究生参与的另一种方式是通过一系列每两年举行一次的周末研究会议（INFAS），其中包括爱荷华州的三所大学和内布拉斯加州的三所大学。

AbstractJorgensen/HanThe GPOTS series has a strong record of serving as a source of research problems for graduate students, fresh Ph.D.'s and postdocs. And it has always attracted a large number of younger researchers. The organizers have been consistent in their effort of attracting members of underrepresented groups. Deguang Han and the analysis group in the math department at the University of Central Florida have established a close collaboration on wavelets in image and signal detection theory with the Lockheed Martin ATI division in Orlando, who have shown great interest in this conference and its theme of applying operator theory to wavelets. GPOTS-2005 could have impact on strengthening the collaborative activities between Florida universities and industries. The senior people who have been attached to the GPOTS series have a clear record of Ph.D. production, and they all have had a number of Ph.D. students from underrepresented groups, including women. All are committed to the recruitment and retention of women and minority students in mathematics. Raul Curto recently won the Catalyst Award (2000) given by the University of Iowa Office of Affirmative Action in recognition of persons that enrich diversity within the UI community. The University of Iowa has now a graduate population which includes 25% underrepresented minority students. With the help of an AGEP grant, the U. of Iowa has recently joined forces with sister institutions in Alabama, Florida, and Texas in an Alliance for the Production of African American Ph.D.'s in the mathematical sciences, and has helped to support REU-type activities for undergraduates. If supported, the two GPOTS conferences will invigorate these activities that are vital to involvement of underrepresented groups in the research community. Another way the universities in central region have involved their graduate students is through the series of bi-annual weekend research meetings (INFAS) involving three universities in Iowa and three in Nebraska.
