Upstate New York Number Theory Conference

该奖项支持参加在纽约州北部举行的一系列数论年度会议中的四个会议；第一届会议将于2015年4月10日至4月12日在伊萨卡举行，第二届会议将于2016年在罗切斯特举行，第三届会议将于2017年在宾厄姆顿举行，第四届会议将于2018年在布法罗举行。调查人员来自四个不同的机构：宾厄姆顿大学、康奈尔大学、纽约州立大学布法罗分校和罗切斯特大学。该系列会议力求在若干方面产生更广泛的影响。它将通过让研究生和博士后接触顶尖专家的工作、让他们交流自己的研究和兴趣、让他们有机会与专家、他们之间以及附近地区的年轻人互动，来帮助他们。它还将使专家们能够将他们的想法传播给更多的受众。在教师研究方面，系列会议将促进该地区几位专家之间的合作，同时加强纽约州北部与波士顿、纽约市、蒙特利尔、费城、普林斯顿和多伦多附近的研究人员之间的联系。这些会议将促进该地区在数论方面的研究，并将丰富该地区初级研究人员的教育和专业发展机会。第一次会议将以有限域上的算术几何和自同构形式的新方向为主题。有关该系列会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.math.cornell.edu/~upstatenumber/。

This award supports participation in four meetings in a series of annual conferences in number theory held in Upstate New York; the first conference will take place in Ithaca from April 10 to April 12 in 2015, the second conference in Rochester in 2016, the third conference in Binghamton in 2017, and the fourth conference in Buffalo in 2018. The investigators represent four different institutions: Binghamton University, Cornell University, SUNY-Buffalo, and the University of Rochester. The conference series seeks to have a broader impact in a number of ways. It will help graduate students and post-docs by exposing them to work of leading experts, by allowing them to communicate their own research and interests, and by giving them the chance to interact with experts, among themselves and with young people from nearby places. It will also allow specialists to disseminate their ideas to a larger audience.At the level of faculty research, the conference series will stimulate collaborations among several specialists in the region, while at the same time strengthening ties between researchers in Upstate New York and those near Boston, New York City, Montreal, Philadelphia, Princeton, and Toronto. The meetings will catalyze the region's research in number theory and will enrich the opportunities for education and professional development available to junior researchers in the region. The first conference will be centered on the themes of arithmetic geometry over finite fields and new directions in automorphic forms.
