The 2009 Maine/Quebec Number Theory Conference; Fall 2009, Orono, ME

2009年缅因州/魁北克数论会议将于10月3日至4日在奥罗诺的缅因州大学举行。这个会议每年举行一次，偶数年在魁北克的拉瓦尔大学举行，奇数年在缅因州大学举行。通过为来自新英格兰、魁北克及其他地区的数论家提供一个论坛来展示和讨论他们的研究，会议促进了加拿大和美国数论家之间的互动和合作。今年会议的特色主题是自守伽罗瓦表示。 我们将听取主要研究人员关于这一主题的讲座，此外还有大约25位其他受邀演讲者在数论的各个领域进行演讲。 会议的小规模（约50名与会者）使研究生和年轻的数学家与领先的研究人员互动的好机会。

The 2009 Maine/Quebec number theory conference will take place on October 3 & 4 at the University of Maine in Orono. This conference is held annually, at l'Universite Laval in Quebec in even years and at the University of Maine in odd years. By providing a forum for number theorists from New England, Quebec, and beyond to present and discuss their research, the conference promotes interaction and collaboration between Canadian and American number theorists.This year the featured topic at the conference is Automorphic Galois Representations. We will hear lectures on this topic by leading researchers, in addition to talks by approximately 25 other invited speakers in all areas of number theory. The small scale of the meeting (with around 50 attendees) makes this a good opportunity for graduate students and young mathematicians to interact with leading researchers.
