Special Meetings: Annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras

该提案寻求为非对易几何和算子代数春季研究所(NCGAO)提供为期三年(2009-2011)的资金。每所学校/会议的目的是聚集学校重点领域的研究生、博士后和世界一流的研究人员，并介绍由主要专家举办的小型课程的介绍性材料和最新发展。由于过去NCGOA春季研究所的研究生和博士后人数一直很多，该研究所将对非对易几何特别是对整个美国数学界产生巨大影响。自2003年5月以来，范德比尔特已经主办了六届春季非对易几何和算子代数研究所。一年一度的春季学院是春季学校和国际研究会议的结合。它吸引了100多名参与者，其中超过三分之二的学生和博士后。这些主题每年都不同，涵盖了非对易几何和算子代数的广泛领域。一年一度的NCGOA春季研究所由Alain Connes指导，由Vanderbilt的非对易几何和算子代数中心组织。

AbstractBischThis proposal seeks funding for the annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras (NCGAO) for three years (2009-2011). The aim of each school/conference is to bring together graduate students, postdocs and world-class researchers in the areas of emphasis of the school and present introductory material and recent developments in mini-courses held by leading experts. Since the number of graduate students and postdocs attending the past NCGOA spring institutes has been huge, the institute will have an enormous impact on noncommutative geometry in particular, and on the US mathematics community in general. Vanderbilt has hosted six annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras since May 2003. The annual spring institute is a combination of spring school and international research conference. It attracts typically over100participants with more than two thirds students and postdocs. The topics vary from year to year and cover a broad range of areas within noncommutative geometry and operator algebras. The annual spring institute in NCGOA is directed by Alain Connes and organized by the Center for Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras at Vanderbilt.
