Southeastern Number Theory Meetings

2016年9月中旬，计划在2016-2017学年举行的三次东南数论会议中的第一次会议将在北卡罗来纳州格林斯博罗的北卡罗来纳大学格林斯博罗分校或南卡罗来纳州斯帕坦堡的伍福德学院举行。南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚的南卡罗来纳大学将于2016年12月的第一个周末举办第二次会议。第三次会议将于2017年4月在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的北佛罗里达大学或弗吉尼亚州刘易斯堡的华盛顿和李大学举行。关于这些会议的更多信息，包括地点、日期、发言人名单、参与者名单和注册信息，将链接到会议主页（如下）。定于2016年举行的会议将是棕榈数论系列http://www.math.sc.edu/~boylan/seminars/pantshome.html的第26次和第27次会议，该系列会议始于2006年，由南卡罗莱纳大学和克莱姆森大学联合管理，这两所大学是南卡罗来纳州的两个旗舰研究机构，棕榈之州。2017年春季会议将是东南亚数字区域会议http://www.math.clemson.edu/~kevja/SERMON/的第30次会议，这是1988年开始的一个更大的区域会议。最近的会议平均有40 - 60人参加。会议由与会者就数论所有领域的最新研究进行讨论，包括解析数论、算术几何、自同构和模形式。这些主题反映了在东南工作的数论学者的研究兴趣。每次会议都有国内和国际公认的领域领导者的全体会议演讲，研究生和博士后研究员的邀请演讲，以及包括本科生和研究生在内的各级数学家以及初级和高级教师的大量贡献演讲。来自东南以外的数论学者将做邀请和全体演讲，而区域研究人员将做大部分的贡献演讲。东南数论会议的一个主要目标是为东南数论社区的成员提供一个学习新的和重要的数论研究的机会，并传播他们自己的研究。社区的学生和初级研究人员特别受益于这些会议。这些会议加强了他们的知识基础，将他们的工作展示给更广泛的受众，并从其他参与者那里获得有见地的输入和反馈。来自美国国家科学基金会的资助使组织者能够以较低的成本实现他们的目标。这些会议将地区数学家整合到社区中，他们可能很少或根本没有资金进行专业旅行，比如研究生和不授予博士学位的机构的教师。组织者将继续努力吸引包括妇女和少数民族在内的人口多样化的参与者基础。

In mid-September of 2016, the first of three Southeastern Number Theory Meetings planned for the 2016-2017 academic year will be held at either the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Greensboro, NC, or at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. The University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC will host the second meeting on the first weekend of December 2016. The third meeting will be held in April 2017 at either the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL, or at Washington and Lee University in Lewisburg, VA. Further information on these meetings including the locations, dates, lists of speakers, lists of participants, and registration information will be linked to the conference home pages (below) as it becomes available.The conferences slated for 2016 will be the 26th and 27th meetings of the Palmetto Number Theory Series http://www.math.sc.edu/~boylan/seminars/pantshome.html , which is a series of meetings started in 2006 and managed jointly by the University of South Carolina and Clemson University, the two flagship research institutions in South Carolina, the Palmetto State. The Spring 2017 meeting will be the 30th meeting of the Southeast Regional Meeting on Numbers http://www.math.clemson.edu/~kevja/SERMON/, which is a larger regional meeting started in 1988. Recent meetings have averaged 40 - 60 participants. The meetings consist of participant talks on current research in all areas of number theory, including analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and automorphic and modular forms. These topics reflect the research interests of number theorists working in the Southeast. Each meeting features plenary talks by nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the field, invited talks by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and a larger number of contributed talks by mathematicians at all levels including undergraduate and graduate students, and junior and senior faculty. Number theorists from outside the Southeast will give the invited and plenary talks, while regional researchers will give most of the contributed talks. A primary goal of the Southeastern Number Theory Meetings is to provide members of the number theory community in the Southeast with an opportunity to learn about new and significant research in number theory and to disseminate their own research. Students and junior researchers in the community particularly benefit from the meetings. The meetings strengthen their knowledge base, expose their work to a wider audience, and give them insightful input and feedback from other participants. Funding from the NSF allows the organizers to achieve their goals at a low cost to individual participants. These meetings integrate regional mathematicians into the community who may have little or no funds for professional travel such as graduate students and faculty at institutions that do not award Ph.Ds. The organizers will continue efforts to attract a demographically diverse participant base including women and racial and ethnic minorities.
