Conference on Bifurcation Theory, Integrable Systems and the Bispectral Problem

这项提议是为了支持美国研究人员和研究生参加2010年5月15日至19日在保加利亚索非亚索非亚大学举行的国际会议，主题为“分叉理论、可积系统和双谱问题”。该会议将促进美国和外国数学家在可积系统、双谱问题和分叉理论领域的思想交流。在这三个领域中的每一个领域，数学家都使用相似的代数几何、表示理论和分析方法。通过将这三个领域的研究人员聚集在一起，会议将创造新的合作，并加强美国和欧洲数学家之间正在进行的合作。它将让许多来自美国的年轻研究人员和研究生接触到顶尖数学家的基础研究。非正式会议将为初级研究人员和研究生提供大量与该领域专家互动的机会。会议还将为美国研究生提供一个宝贵的机会，与他们的欧洲同行交流思想和教育经验。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

This proposal is to provide support for the participation of US researchers and graduate students in an international conference on "Bifurcation Theory, Integrable Systems and the Bispectral Problem" at Sofia University in Sofia, Bulgaria during May 15-19, 2010.The conference will stimulate the exchange of ideas between US and foreign mathematicians in the areas of integrable systems, the bispectral problem and bifurcation theory. In each of these three areas mathematicians use similar algebro-geometric, representation theoretic, and analytic methods. By bringing researchers in these three areas together, the conference will create new collaborations and strengthen ongoing collaborations between US and European mathematicians. It will expose a number of young researchers and graduate students from the US to fundamental research by leading mathematicians. Informal sessions will provide ample opportunities for junior researchers and graduate students to interact with experts in the fields. The conference will also provide a valuable opportunity for the US graduate students to exchange ideas and education experience with their European peers. This award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering.
