2014 Pingree Park Dynamical Systems School: Foundations and Frontiers of Symbolic Dynamics

该奖项支持参加2014年7月13日至18日在科罗拉多州立大学举行的“2014 Pingree Park Dynamical Systems School：符号动力学的基础和前沿”会议。这次会议是2008-2011年夏季在同一地点举行的动力系统会议的延伸，致力于古典和多维符号动力学的研究。一个特别的重点领域将是Z^d-符号动力学主动研究的最新发展。计划开设三门小型课程，让研究生和初级教师有机会学习这门学科的基础材料，并了解重要的最新发展。还将举行全体讲座。符号动力学是被称为动力系统的数学学科的一部分。除了在数学上的重要性，符号动力学在计算机科学和其他涉及离散时间步长的时间进化的学科中也有应用。这次会议为学生和初级研究人员提供了一个极好的机会，让他们了解这一领域的最新技术，与该主题领域的专家互动，并开展研究合作。计划将有36人参加，其中相当一部分将是初级教员。特别强调招募妇女和代表性不足群体的成员。会议网址：www.math.du.edu/~normes/pp2014

This award supports participation in the conference "2014 Pingree Park Dynamical Systems School: Foundations and Frontiers of Symbolic Dynamics" held at Colorado State University on the dates of July 13-18, 2014. This conference, which is an extension of dynamical systems conferences given at the same site during the summers of 2008-2011, is dedicated to the study of classical and multidimensional symbolic dynamics. A particular area of focus will be on recent developments in active study of Z^d-symbolic dynamics. Three mini-courses are planned to give graduate students and junior faculty an opportunity to learn foundational material in the subject, as well as to learn of important recent developments. Plenary lectures are also to be given. Symbolic dynamics is part of the mathematical subject known as dynamical systems. In addition to its significance in mathematics, symbolic dynamics has applications in computer science and other subjects involving time evolution through discrete time steps. The meeting provides an excellent opportunity for students and junior researchers to learn about the state of the art in this field, to interact with experts in the topic area, and to develop research collaborations. It is planned that there will be thirty-six participants, of which a significant number will be junior faculty. Particular emphasis is given to recruiting women and members of underrepresented groups.Conference web site: www.math.du.edu/~normes/PP2014
