Geometry and Arithmetics

迈阿密大学数学系将于2005年12月主办一次题为“算术、代数和辛几何”的冬季会议和学校。会议将集中于促进和将高维代数几何的最新进展纳入算术和辛研究方向，并在射影几何和层理理论之间、奇点理论和重建伽洛问题之间以及相干层几何和辛拓扑之间建立新的桥梁。该奖项将支持来自美国机构的初级研究人员和毕业生，并将使几何技术在新一代年轻科学家中传播。会议将讨论有关物理世界隐藏的对称性、时空的大尺度结构和物质的高能性质等棘手的经典问题。这项活动旨在增进我们对处理这类问题所必需的数学方法的理解，并产生适用于弦物理、软凝聚态理论和数学生物学的结果。

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Miami will host aWinter Conference and School in December 2005 entitled "Arithmetic,Algebraic and Symplectic Geometry". The conference will focus onpromotion and incorporation of recent advances in higher dimensionalalgebraic geometry into arithmetic and symplectic research directionsand the creation of new bridges between projective geometry andfoliation theory, between singularity theory and reconstructive Galoisproblems and between the geometry of coherent sheaves and symplectictopology. The award will support junior researchers and graduatestudents from U.S. institutions and will enable the dissemination ofgeometric techniques among the new generation of young scientists.The conference will address difficult classical questions about the hidden symmetries of the physical world, the large scale structure of space-time and the properties of matter athigh energies. This activity aims to advance our understanding of themathematical methodology necessary to handle such questions and toproduce results applicable in stringy physics, soft condensed matter theoryand mathematical biology.
