The Legacy of Daniel Quillen: K-Theory And Homotopical Algebra

麻省理工学院将于2012年10月6日至8日举办一次会议，庆祝已故丹尼尔·奎伦对数学的影响和遗产。这次会议将汇集奎伦创立或深刻影响的当前活动的许多领域的研究人员，包括代数K-理论、循环同调、有理同伦理论、抽象同伦理论、群上同调和模表示理论。将有13次主要会谈，为与会者之间的互动留出了充足的时间。本次会议涵盖的不同主题因其创建者的愿景而团结在一起，我们预计，随着它们重新联系起来，会议将导致富有成效的合作。将尽一切努力把原本因地理、年龄、级别和领域而分散的研究人员聚集在一起。丹尼尔·奎伦(1940-2011)是美国最伟大的数学家之一。1978年，作为菲尔兹奖(该领域授予的最高奖项)的获得者，奎伦对数学的本质有着深刻而独特的见解。他奠定了当今世界上数百名数学家正在追求的两大数学分支--代数K理论和抽象同伦理论--的基础，并深刻影响了其他几个领域的发展。预计将有大约200人参加，为期三天的会议将听取这些领域的领先研究人员的意见，并将他们与来自美国和海外的年轻而有抱负的数学家聚集在一起。赠款的很大一部分将保证没有资金或资金不足的年轻研究人员能够参加，并确保妇女和传统上代表性不足的少数群体的参与。将创建一个网页，在因特网上分发专题介绍的内容，从而扩大会议的可及性。Http://math.mit.edu/quillen/

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will host a conference, October 6--8, 2012, celebrating the mathematical impact and legacy of the late Daniel Quillen. The conference will bring together researchers in the many areas of current actvity that Quillen either founded or profoundly influenced, including algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology, rational homotopy theory, abstract homotopy theory, group cohomology, and modular representation theory. There well be thirteen main talks, leaving ample time for interaction among participants. The diverse topics covered by this conference are united by the vision of their creator, and we anticipate that the conference will result in fruitful collaborations as they reconnect. Every effort will be made to bring together researchers otherwise separated by geography, age and rank, and field.Daniel Quillen (1940--2011) was one of the of the greatest American mathematicians. A winner of the Fields Medal (the highest award given in the field) in 1978, Quillen had a deep and unique insight into the nature of mathematics. He established the foundations of two major branches of mathematics now being pursued by hundreds of mathematicans around the world today - algebraic K-theory and abstract homotopy theory - and profoundly influenced the development of several other fields. With some two hundred participants expected, this three-day conference will hear from leading researchers in these areas and bring them together with young and aspiring mathematicians from the US and abroad. A significant portion of the grant will guarantee that otherwise unfunded or underfunded young researchers can attend and to ensure the participation of women and traditionally underrepresented minority populations. The accessibility of the conference will be augmented by the creation of a web page which will distribute the contents of the presentations on the internet. http://math.mit.edu/quillen/
