Travel Support for IWOTA 2012

该奖项用于支付参加2012年7月16日至20日在澳大利亚悉尼南威尔士大学举行的运营商理论和应用国际研讨会(IWOTA)的美国学员的费用。这个项目将资助来自美国的大约12名初级运营者理论家的参与，他们没有得到其他来源的支持。在过去的30年里，IWOTA将把在不同领域工作的数学家聚集在一起，这些领域分享算符理论作为共同的主题。这将是IWOTA的第二十次会议，也是第一次在澳大利亚举行。本课程的主要主题是算子代数、控制理论和微分算子的调和分析。由于IWOTA涵盖的主题多种多样，鼓励演讲者向一般分析员听众发表演讲。这使得会议对研究生、博士后和初级数学家特别有用；会议还为促进合作创造了完美的氛围。被邀请的演讲者名单将包括运营商理论及其应用方面的世界专家；与会者名单将包括来自美国、加拿大、欧洲、拉丁美洲、非洲和亚洲的初级研究人员和博士后。该计划将为贡献的会谈和非正式讨论提供充足的时间。该奖项为在广义算符理论领域有研究兴趣的年轻数学家提供了一个非常好的机会，让他们接触到几个相关领域的最新发展，与其他国家的研究人员互动，并可能启动未来的合作。

This award provides support to defray expenses of US participants attending the International Workshop in Operator Theory and Applications (IWOTA), to be held at the University of South Wales, in Sydney, Australia, during July 16-20, 2012. This project will fund participation of approximately twelve junior operator theorists from the United States who do not have support from other sources. Priority for funding will go to women and members of groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.For the past 30 years, IWOTA has brought together mathematicians working in a variety of fields that share operator theory as a common theme. This will be twentieth meeting of IWOTA and the first time it will be held in Australia. The main themes of this workshop will be operator algebras, control theory, and harmonic analysis of differential operators. Due to the diversity of topics covered in IWOTA, the speakers are encouraged to give talks accessible to a general audience of analysts. This makes the meeting particularly useful for graduate students, postdocs, and junior mathematicians; the meeting also creates the perfect atmosphere for stimulating collaborations. The list of invited speakers will include world experts in operator theory and its applications; the list of participants will include junior researchers and postdocs from the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. The program will provide ample time for contributed talks and informal discussions. The award provides a very good opportunity for young mathematicians with research interests in the area of operator theory, broadly defined, to be exposed to the latest developments in several related fields, to interact with researchers from other countries, and to possibly initiate future collaborations.
