Collaborative Research: AGNES. Algebraic Geometry NorthEastern Series

代数几何在东北各州的研究机构中具有强大而广泛的代表性。AGNES是一系列两年一次的研讨会，旨在进一步促进该地区代数几何学者之间的互动和合作。每个讲习班在一个周末在一个参与机构举行。这些研讨会包括来自该领域内外的知名专家和初级研究人员的研究讲座。专业发展课程和介绍性的前期讲座特别针对研究生。每个研讨会都以一个开放的问题会议结束。这提供了一个机会来传播最近的成果和发展，并就代数几何的未来方向交换意见和观点。代数几何是研究由多项式方程定义的空间的学科。自然界中出现的许多空间都是这种类型的，因此代数几何在科学中有不同的应用。特别是，它与理论物理学（弦理论）的最新工作有很强的联系。这笔拨款将支持在东北各州举行的一系列代数几何会议。该系列的主要目的是使研究生接触到该领域的广泛研究，并改善东北许多代数几何学者之间的交流。

Algebraic geometry has a strong and broad representation at the research institutions of the Northeastern states. AGNES is a series of biannual workshops that intends to further the interaction and collaborations between the algebraic geometers in the area. Each workshop is held over a weekend at one of the participating institutions. The workshops include research talks by renowned experts and junior researchers, both from outside the area and within. Professional development sessions and introductory pre-talks are aimed particularly at graduate students. Every workshop culminates with an open problem session. This gives an opportunity to disseminate recent results and developments, and exchange ideas and views about future directions of algebraic geometry.Algebraic geometry is the study of spaces defined by polynomial equations. Many of the spaces occurring in nature are of this type, and for this reason algebraic geometry has found diverse applications in the sciences. In particular, there are strong connections with recent work in theoretical physics (string theory). This grant will support a series of algebraic geometry conferences in the Northeastern states. The key aims of the series are to expose graduate students to a broad spectrum of research in the field and to improve communication between the many algebraic geometers in the northeast.
