Joint Norway-USA Workshop in Complex Analysis and Mathematical Physics

该项目为美国参加由卑尔根大学数学研究所和南佛罗里达大学的一组科学家联合组织的研讨会提供部分资金。该研讨会计划作为一个跨学科的活动来讨论现代数学和数学物理之间的几个前沿问题，更具体地说，是与所谓的拉普拉斯增长、随机和离散的洛厄纳演化、正交域、引力透镜、海尔肖流和可积系统广泛相关的问题。研讨会选择的主题都是介于数学和物理之间的“热门”话题。最近，在数学物理中长期研究的大多数主题，从基于解析曲线的Schwarz函数的概念的经典复分析中获得了意想不到的但戏剧性的见解。这笔资金是为美国参加计划中的研讨会准备的。该研讨会是组织者设想的一个更大的倡议的一个步骤，该倡议旨在建立一个多方面的美欧联合合作项目，并将有助于增加新开发的合作的国际化，促进建立深入的科学伙伴关系。支持有前途的年轻研究人员和研究生前往研讨会，在那里，来自欧洲和美国的科学家，年老的和年轻的，杰出的和刚刚起步的，基本上在一个鼓舞人心和融洽的环境中度过24小时，讨论数学和物理中吸引人的重要问题，将鼓励许多年轻的学生在他们未来的研究中追求这些主题。大部分资金被指定用于支持年轻科学家、研究生和代表性不足群体成员的旅行费用。

The project provides partial funding for the U.S. participation in a workshop organized jointly by a group of scientists at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Bergen and at the University of South Florida. The workshop is planned as an interdisciplinary event to discuss several cutting edge problems on the border between modern mathematics and mathematical physics, more specifically, problems broadly associated with so-called Laplacian growth, stochastic and discrete Loewner evolutions, quadrature domains, gravitational lensing, Hele-Shaw flows, and integrable systems. The topics chosen for the workshop are "hot" topics which are on the borderline between mathematics and physics. Recently, most of these themes, long studied in mathematical physics, received an unexpected but dramatic insight from classical complex analysis based on the notion of Schwarz function of an analytic curve.The funding is intended for the U.S. participation in the planned workshop. The workshop is a step in a larger initiative conceived by the organizers to create a multi-facetted joint USA-Europe series of collaborative projects and will serve to increase internationalization of newly developed collaborations and promote the establishment of in-depth scientific partnerships. Supporting the travel of promising young researchers and graduate students to the workshop where scientists from Europe and the US, old and young, prominent and just beginning, are essentially spending 24 hours together in an inspiring and congenial environment, discussing appealing and important problems in mathematics and physics, will encourage many younger students to pursue some of these topics in their future research. Most of the funding is designated to support the travel costs of young scientists, graduate students and members of the underrepresented groups.
