Singular Landscapes

数学会议《奇异景观》将于2015年6月22日至6月26日在法国奥索瓦举行，地点为法国政府国家科学研究中心的会议中心。会议将探讨奇点理论的最新进展及其在不同数学领域的应用。将有一个特别的半天，讨论奇点理论和神经科学的互动。预计将有90至100名(国际)参与者。会议将允许与会者与这一领域的领导人建立新的工作关系，并发展正在进行的合作。NSF将为12-15名美国与会者提供重要的旅行和住宿支持。资助的重点将是学生、博士后学者和没有其他联邦支持的参与者。更多信息可在会议网站上找到：https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/internalPage.py?pageId=3&amp；confId=202奇点理论最近已应用于许多不同的数学领域，会议中的演讲将概述这一进展。会议将为来自不同领域的研究人员提供一个相互交流和建立研究联系的机会；特别是，与会者将从这种互动中受益，并从看到该领域的最新发展及其与其他领域的关系中受益。会议的主要影响将是传播关于一个重要主题--奇点理论--的最新想法，并刺激和丰富学生和早期职业参与者的研究生涯。本次会议与会者的国际构成及其跨学科重点将特别有效地促进富有成效的合作关系。来自会议的鼓励和指导将对早期职业数学家的成功和专业发展做出重大贡献。

The mathematical conference "Singular Landscapes" will be held from June 22 - June 26, 2015 in Aussois, France, in a conference center of the French government's national center for scientific research, CNRS. The conference will explore recent progress in singularity theory and its application to diverse areas of mathematics. There will be a special half day on interactions of singularity theory and neuroscience. It is expected that there will be between 90 and 100 (international) participants. The conference will allow participants to establish new working relationships with leaders in this area, and to develop ongoing collaborations. NSF will provide significant travel and lodging support for 12 - 15 U.S.-based participants to the conference. The emphasis on the funding will be towards students, postdoctoral scholars, and participants who do not have other federal support. More information can be found on the conference web site: https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/internalPage.py?pageId=3&confId=202 Singularity theory has recently been applied in many different areas of mathematics, and the talks in the conference will provide an overview of this progress. The meeting will provide an opportunity for researchers from diverse fields to interact and establish research connections with each other; in particular, the participants will benefit from this interaction and from seeing recent developments in the field and its relationships with other areas. The primary impacts of the conference will be its dissemination of recent ideas on an important topic -- Singularity Theory -- and the stimulation and enrichment of the research careers of the students and early career participants. The international makeup of the participants to this meeting and its interdisciplinary focus will be particularly effective at enabling productive collaborative relationships. The encouragement and mentoring from the conference will significantly contribute to the success and professional development of early career mathematicians.
