Quantum Symmetries: Subfactors and Planar Algebras Conference 2017

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支付会议的与会者的旅费“量子对称：子因子和平面代数会议2017”，将于2017年7月17日至21日在毛伊岛，HI。这次会议将使用平面代数和子因子理论来研究量子对称性。这次会议在最近的次因素会议中是独一无二的。鉴于许多这样的会议已经处理了与物理或共形场论的子因子的关系，本次会议将集中在子因子标准不变量的平面代数描述。会议将汇集主要专家，集中研究这一特定领域。奖励资金将主要用于支持研究生和博士后的参与。这将为这些初级研究人员提供一个重要的机会，了解该领域的最新技术，与该领域的领先研究人员互动，并为未来的合作建立联系。

This award provides funding to help defray the travel expenses of participants in the conference "Quantum Symmetries: Subfactors and Planar Algebras Conference 2017" that will be held from July 17-21, 2017 in Maui, HI. This conference will use planar algebras and the theory of subfactors to study quantum symmetry. The conference will be unique among recent subfactor conferences. Whereas many such conferences have dealt with relationship of subfactors with physics or conformal field theory, this conference will focus on the planar algebra descriptions of subfactor standard invariants. The conference will bring together leading experts for a concentrated look at this specific area. The award funds will be primarily directed to support graduate student and postdoc participation. This will provide an important opportunity for these junior researchers to learn of the state-of-the-art of the field, interact with leading researchers in the field, and develop contacts for future collaboration.
