ICM Satellite Meeting: A Pan-Hemispheric Celebration of Mathematics

这一NSF奖项为2018年7月26日至29日在迈阿密大学佛罗里达州科勒尔盖布尔斯校区举行的名为“泛半球数学庆典”的会议的与会者提供部分差旅支持。此次会议是2018年国际数学家大会(ICM)在北美唯一获得官方批准的卫星会议，该会议将于2018年8月1日至9日在巴西里约热内卢举行。在迈阿密举行卫星会议提供了一个独特的机会，通过在美国一所主要研究型大学举行的备受瞩目的活动，推动2018年国际数学大会关于数学及其应用领域泛半球合作的主题，从而丰富美国数学科学家与拉美邻国同行之间的数学和科学对话。通常，ICM卫星会议集中在一个特定的数学分支学科内的一个狭隘的主题上，并在东道国或周边地区举行。“泛半球数学庆典”将比大多数ICM卫星会议的范围更广，并将突出当前数学前沿的四个重要领域：代数几何和拓扑学；组合学；微分几何和几何分析；以及数学生物学。会议将以纯观点和应用观点的活跃组合为特色，具有很强的跨学科联系，特别是与物理、生物学和计算机科学的联系。会议将围绕每个重点领域的延长全体讲座组织，由该领域的领先专家进行。除了这些全体讲座外，还将举行受邀的特别会议，为与会者提供广泛了解四个重要领域前沿领域的重要动态和更深入地研究其中一个领域的双重机会。来自国家科学基金会的资金将用于吸引不同的非发言者参与者，目标是推动泛半球对话。这次会议是这方面正在进行的努力的一部分，其组织委员会来自迈阿密大学的教职员工、墨西哥的Avanzados del Instituto de PolitécNico National(CInvestav)和巴西的Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada(IMPA)。有关会议的详细信息可在www.math.miami.edu/icm上找到。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This NSF award provides partial travel support to participants of a conference titled "A Pan-Hemispheric Celebration of Mathematics," to be held on the Coral Gables, Florida campus of the University of Miami from July 26-29, 2018. This conference is the only officially sanctioned satellite meeting in North America associated with the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), which will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from August 1-9, 2018. Holding a satellite meeting in Miami provides a unique opportunity to advance the 2018 ICM theme of pan-hemispheric cooperation in mathematics and its applications via a highly visible event at a major US research university, thereby enriching mathematical and scientific dialogue between mathematical scientists based in the United States and their counterparts in its Latin American neighbors. Customarily, ICM satellite meetings center on a narrowly focused topic within a particular mathematical sub-discipline and are held in the host country or surrounding region. "A Pan-Hemispheric Celebration of Mathematics" will be broader in scope than most ICM satellite meetings and will highlight four important areas at the forefront of current mathematics: algebraic geometry and topology; combinatorics; differential geometry and geometric analysis; and mathematical biology. The meeting will feature a vibrant mix of pure and applied perspectives with strong interdisciplinary connections, particularly to physics, biology and computer science.The meeting will be organized around extended plenary lectures in each of the focal areas, given by leading experts in the field. These plenary lectures will be supplemented by parallel invited special sessions, with the event structured so as to offer participants a dual opportunity to learn broadly about important developments at the frontier of four important areas and to delve more deeply into one of them. Funding from NSF will be used to attract a diverse range of non-speaker participants, with a goal of advancing pan-hemispheric dialogue. The conference is part of ongoing efforts in this direction and draws its organizing committee from faculty at the University of Miami, the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (Cinvestav) in Mexico and the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in Brazil. Details about the meeting can be found at www.math.miami.edu/icm.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
