International Conference on Representation Theory ICRT V; August 2010 China

表示论涵盖了数学研究的方方面面，与几何、数论、拓扑学、组合学、数学物理等学科有着密切的联系。为了总结当前的研究现状，为该领域引入新鲜血液，1998年由中国和美国的一群数学家在上海发起了表示论国际会议，此后美国数学家积极参加了每一届ICRT。该奖项为美国数学家参加2010年8月9-14日在中国西安举行的第五届国际表示论会议提供了部分支持，届时来自亚洲、欧洲和美国的专家将聚集在一起，绘制未来的研究方向。西安，中国是2000多年来文化交流的交汇点。本届奖项为三大洲数学家之间新的科学交流做出了贡献，也促进了代表理论的更深层次的数学研究。会议为年轻研究人员提供了一个跟踪当前代表理论活跃研究阶段的很好机会。

Representation theory covers fast range of research in mathematics, and has close relationships with geometry, number theory, topology, combinatorics as well as mathematical physics. In order to survey current research and bring in new blood into the field, the International Conference series on Representation Theory was initiated in 1998 in Shanghai by a group of mathematicians from China and the US, since then American mathematicians have actively participated in each of the ICRT.This award provides partial support for American mathematicians to attend the 5th International Conference of Representation Theory(ICRT) during August 9--14, 2010, in Xian, China where specialists from Asia, Europe and United States will gather chart future research directions.Xian, China has beenthe cross point of cultural exchanges for more than 2000 years.The current award contributes to new scientific exchanges between mathematicians from three continents and also promotes deeper mathematical research in representation theory.The conference offers a great opportunity for young researchers to follow the current stage of active research in representation theory.
