The 2016 Gainesville International Number Theory Conference

为期五天的国际数论会议计划于2016年3月17日至21日在佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校举行。数论的研究历史悠久，可以追溯到古希腊。近年来，数论的研究取得了重大进展，并在物理、计算和数据安全等其他领域取得了重要应用。其中一个进步就是质数之间的间隙。会议将由詹姆斯·梅纳德（James Maynard）就这一主题进行三次演讲。这次会议延续了佛罗里达大学15年来数论会议的传统。将有30多个40分钟和几个20分钟的研究报告。重点支持本科生、研究生、博士后学者、妇女和少数民族参与者以及没有其他支持的人员。会议将涵盖以下主题：q系列，分区和模形式，解析数论和代数数论。从历史上看，解析数论与划分和q级数的组合/代数世界之间的协同作用是非常富有成效的，始于哈代和拉马努金的合作。在整个20世纪和进入21世纪，我们看到各个领域相互丰富。例如，像戴森和阿特金这样的二十世纪中期的工作者发现了这两个领域之间富有成效的互动，这次会议的参与者沿着这条线进一步互动的潜力是重要的和诱人的。会议的演讲和论文将广泛传播，办法是在会议网页上提供讲稿和摘要，并出版经审定的会议记录。更多信息请访问qseries.org/fgarvan/alladi60.html。

A five-day international number theory conference is planned for March 17-21, 2016, at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Research in number theory has a long history going back to the ancient Greeks. Recently research in number theory has made significant advances and has made important applications to other areas such as physics, computing, and data security. One such advance has been on gaps between prime numbers. The conference will feature three lectures by James Maynard on this topic. The conference continues a 15-year tradition at the University of Florida of conferences in number theory. There will be over thirty 40-minute and several 20-minute research presentations. Special effort will be given to support undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, women and minority participants, and those who have no other support.The conference will cover the following topics: q-Series, partitions and modular forms, analytic number theory, and algebraic number theory. Historically the synergy between analytic number theory and the combinatorial/algebraic world of partitions and q-series has been extremely fruitful, starting with the collaboration of Hardy and Ramanujan. Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, we have seen each area enrich the other. For example, mid-twentieth century workers like Dyson and Atkin found fruitful interactions between these two areas, and the potential for further interactions along these lines by the participants in this conference is significant and tantalizing. The talks and papers of the conference will be widely disseminated by making presentations and abstracts available on the conference web page and by publishing a refereed conference proceedings.
