Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms Conference Series

该奖项将于2016年4月8日至10日在德克萨斯州丹顿的北德克萨斯大学(UNT)、2017年秋季在俄克拉何马州斯蒂尔沃特的俄克拉何马州立大学(OSU)以及2018年秋季在俄克拉何马州诺曼的俄克拉何马大学(OU)举行，以支持德克萨斯州-俄克拉何马州表征和自构形(TORA)会议系列的参与者。每个TORA会议将有三位全体嘉宾发言，其中包括来自俄克拉荷马-德克萨斯地区以外的两位杰出的领先研究数学家，以及一名新近获得博士学位或即将完成博士学位的研究生。此外，该地区的研究生和研究人员将介绍他们的工作。这些周末的会议将为该地区的学生和研究人员提供大量的合作和互动机会，这些学生和研究人员专门从事数论、自同构形式和表示理论的研究。自同构型是现代数论的基本研究对象。自同构形式和表示论之间的相互作用最近出现了一些非常令人兴奋的新发展，这些新发展也推动了对其他几个领域的应用。J·亚瑟关于直交群和辛群表示的内窥镜分类的工作就是这种新发展的一个例子。来自俄克拉荷马州和德克萨斯州北部地区的六所大学的研究人员从事自同构形式和表征理论的研究。TORA系列会议成功地将来自该地区和其他地区的研究人员以及他们的学生聚集在一起，并推动了创新和交流。TORA VII-IX将不仅在机构之间，而且在数学领域之间的合作和交流中继续取得这种成功。2016年大会的网页可在此处找到http://www.math.unt.edu/~richter/TORA/TORA7.html.

This award supports participants in the Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms (TORA) conference series will take place at the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, TX, April 8-10, 2016; at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, OK in Fall 2017; and at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, OK in Fall 2018. Each TORA conference will feature three plenary guest speakers consisting of two outstanding leading research mathematicians from outside the Oklahoma-Texas region as well as a recent Ph.D. or a graduate student nearing completion of a Ph.D. In addition, regional graduate students and researchers will present their work. These weekend conferences will provide ample opportunities for collaboration and interactions among the students and researchers in the region, specializing in number theory, automorphic forms and representation theory. Automorphic forms are basic objects of study in modern number theory. The interplay between automorphic forms and representation theory has seen a number of very exciting new developments recently which also fuel applications to several other fields. J. Arthur's work on endoscopic classification of representations of the orthogonal and symplectic groups is an example of such new developments. Research faculty from over a half dozen universities in the Oklahoma and North Texas region work in automorphic forms and representation theory. The TORA conference series has been successful in bringing together researchers from the region and beyond, as well as their students, and propel innovation and exchange. TORA VII-IX will continue this success in collaborations and exchanges not only between institutions, but also among mathematical areas.
