Special Meeting: CRM Special Semester on Harmonic analysis, Geometric Measure Theory and Quasiconformal Mappings

该奖项将支持美国研究人员在2009年2月至7月期间在西班牙巴塞罗那的Recerca中心Matemàtica （CRM）参加一个特殊学期的“谐波分析，几何测量理论和拟共形映射”的费用。支持将提供给目前没有获得NSF奖励的参与者，但一些高级研究人员除外。这个主题是多样的，并且已经成为几个学科的重要工作的主题，最近的工作在一系列数学学科之间有相互作用。这将为美国的研究人员提供与欧洲数学家互动的机会，他们是该学科的领导者。这一提议将增加美国研究人员对这一活动计划的参与。有一群更资深的美国研究人员组成了坚实的核心，他们已经被邀请并确认参加。据了解，大部分资金将用于来自代表性不足的群体和年轻研究人员的参与者，因为该提案列出了在本学期增加这些群体数量的指导方针。本提案由分析计划和OISE计划共同资助，各提供所需金额的一半。

This award will provide support to defray expenses of US based researchers participating in a special semester at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) in Barcelona, Spain, on ``Harmonic Analysis, Geometric Measure Theory and Quasiconformal Mappings" during the period February-July, 2009. Support will be provided to participants who do not currently hold NSF awards, with exceptions made for some senior researchers. The subject is diverse, and has been the subject of work of significance across several disciplines, with recent work having interactions between a range of mathematical disciplines. This will provide US based researchers with the opportunity to interact with mathematicians from Europe who are leaders in the subject.This proposal will increase the participation by US based researchers in this program of activities. There is a solid core of more senior US based researchers who are already invited and confirmed participants. It is understood that much of the funding will be directed to participants from under-represented groups, and younger researchers, as this proposal lays out guidelines to increase the number of these groups in the semester. This proposal is co-funded by Analysis program and OISE Program each providing half of the requested amount.
