Second Latin American School of Algebraic Geometry and Applications (II ELGA)

该奖项支持2015年6月1日至12日在巴西卡波弗里奥举行的“第二拉丁美洲代数几何与应用学院（II ELGA）”研究学院的美国参与者。这是拉丁美洲第二所此类学校，第一届ELGA于2011年在阿根廷举办。该学院有几个目标：向新一代的学生和研究人员介绍代数几何学科，展示该领域最新发展的广阔视野，传播新的问题和研究方向，促进研究人员和学生之间的更多互动，并帮助年轻的研究人员建立合作网络。代数几何是一个基础研究领域，在整个数学和其他科学中都有应用和联系。学校的第一周将包括四门迷你课程（每门5小时），涵盖该领域一些最活跃的主题，以及反映现代代数几何的多样性和范围。主讲人是著名的代数几何学家：Robert Lazarsfeld、Olivier Debarre、Barbara Fantechi和Burt Totaro。第二周将是一个研究会议，由世界一流的研究人员进行28场演讲。主办机构是巴西里约热内卢的纯粹与应用数学研究所（IMPA）。有6位组织者在几个不同的国家工作：巴西、智利、意大利、法国、墨西哥和美国。第二届代数几何大会是两年来拉丁美洲唯一一次致力于代数几何的活动，明确针对博士生和年轻研究人员。由于代数几何课程在拉丁美洲正在兴起，组织者希望学校能有大量的参与和影响。第一所ELGA学校的成功，加上IMPA和演讲者的高声誉，应该保证大量的国际参与。奖金将用于支持在美国工作的博士生和年轻研究人员。关于会议的更多细节可以在http://www.impa.br/opencms/pt/eventos/store/evento_1503.This上找到，该奖项由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程（ISE）部门共同资助。

This award supports U.S. participants in the Research School "Second Latin American School of Algebraic Geometry and Applications (II ELGA)" held in Cabo Frio, Brazil from June 1 to 12, 2015. The school is the second of its kind in Latin America, with the first ELGA being held in Argentina in 2011. The school has several goals: to introduce a new generation of students and researchers to the subject of Algebraic Geometry, to present a broad view of recent developments in the area, to disseminate new problems and directions of research, to promote greater interaction among researchers and students, and to help young researchers build a network of collaborations. Algebraic Geometry is a fundamental field of research, with applications and connections throughout mathematics and other sciences. The first week of the school will include four mini courses (of 5 hours each) which cover some of the most active topics in the field, as well as reflect the diversity and scope of modern Algebraic Geometry. The main speakers are prominent algebraic geometers: Robert Lazarsfeld, Olivier Debarre, Barbara Fantechi, and Burt Totaro. The second week will be a research conference, with 28 talks given by world class researchers. The hosting institution is IMPA (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There are 6 organizers working in several different countries: Brazil, Chile, Italy, France, Mexico, and the United States. The II ELGA is the only event in Latin America in two years devoted to Algebraic Geometry and explicitly aimed at Ph.D. students and young researchers. The organizers expect a large participation and impact for the school, as Algebraic Geometry is much on the rise in Latin America. The success of the first ELGA school, along with the high reputation of IMPA and the speakers, should guarantee a large international participation. The award funds will be used to support Ph.D. students and young researchers working in the United States.
