3rd Mile High Conference on Nonassociative Mathematics

第三届英里高会议将于2013年8月11日至17日在丹佛大学举行。非联想数学会议为非联想数学的各个方面提供了一个独特的论坛。本次会议将汇集非联想数学各个领域的研究人员，包括拟群和环，李代数和约旦代数，拉丁平方，3-网和拉丁平方设计，以及八元数和非联想结构在物理学中的应用。会议的跨学科精神不仅体现在各领域主讲人的选择上，也体现在项目和组委会的组成上。预计将有大约70名研究人员参加。第三届英里高会议的主要目标如下：(i)加强英里高会议作为全球非联想数学系列会议的领导地位；（ii）汇集非联想数学各个领域的科学家，从而促进跨学科研究；使研究生和博士后能够参加会议，同时也为这些年轻研究人员提供论坛；鼓励和支持代表性不足和处境不利群体的研究人员参与；出版会议论文集，以促进原创性研究；（六）传播非联想数学各领域的开放性问题。所有这些目标都涉及会议的知识价值和更广泛的影响。非联想数学是一个广泛的领域，它与许多传统的数学领域以及数学科学相互作用。例如，准群理论和八元数已经在相对论物理和粒子物理中得到了应用。Jordan代数已被证明在物理学和统计学中都很有用，拉丁平方也经常出现在后一个领域。最后，李代数在数学科学中的普遍性是众所周知的。非联想数学的英里高会议努力成为在非联想数学的不同部分工作的人们聚集在一起，交流思想和学习该领域前沿的主要机会之一。有关今年会议的更多信息，请参阅http://www.math.du.edu/milehigh。

The 3rd Mile High Conference will take place at the University of Denver from August 11-17, 2013. The Mile High Conferences on Nonassociative Mathematics provide a unique forum for all aspects of nonassociative mathematics. This conference will bring together researchers working in various areas of nonassociative mathematics, including quasigroups and loops, Lie algebras and Jordan algebras, latin squares, 3-nets and latin square designs, and applications of octonions and nonassociative structures in physics. The interdisciplinary spirit of the conference is reflected not only in the selection of main speakers from various fields, but also in the composition of the Program and Organizing Committee. About 70 researchers are expected to participate. The main goals of the 3rd Mile High Conference are as follows: (i) To reinforce the Mile High Conferences as a leading series of conferences in nonassociative mathematics worldwide; (ii) To bring together scientists from all areas of nonassociative mathematics, hence promoting cross-disciplinary research; (iii) To make the conference accessible to graduate and post-doctoral students while also providing a forum for these young researchers; (iv) To encourage and support participation of researchers from underrepresented and underprivileged groups; (v) To publish conference proceedings in order to promote original research; (vi) To disseminate open problems in the various fields of nonassociative mathematics. All these goals address both the intellectual merit and the broader impact of the conference.Nonassociative mathematics is a broad field that interacts with many traditional areas of mathematics as well as mathematical sciences. For example, quasigroup theory and the octonions have found applications in relativistic physics and particle physics. Jordan algebras have proven to be useful in both physics and statistics, and latin squares also show up routinely in the latter field. Finally, the ubiquity of Lie algebras in mathematical sciences is well known. The Mile High Conferences in Nonassociative Mathematics strive to be one of the primary opportunities for people working in diverse parts of nonassociative mathematics to come together, exchange ideas and learn about the cutting edge of the field.
