Canadian Number Theory Association Meeting 2018

该奖项支持美国参加加拿大数论协会的一次会议。加拿大数论协会（CNTA）于1987年在拉瓦尔大学举行的国际数论会议上成立，旨在加强和促进加拿大及其他地区数论的学习和研究。为了实现这些目标，CNTA每年举办两次会议，展示数论方面的新研究，目的是让加拿大和国际学生和研究人员了解该领域的最新发展。今年的CNTA第十五届会议将于2018年7月9日至13日在魁北克市举行，更多信息请访问http://archimede.mat.ulaval.ca/CNTA2018/。CNTA会议是世界上最大的数论会议之一，在规模上只有两年一次的旅程算术会议可以与CNTA会议交替举行，通常在南欧举行。第十五届国家行政会议的形式将遵循国家行政会议的一般传统。这将是一个为期5天的会议，包括8小时的全体演讲，其中一场演讲将由2018年Ribenboim数论杰出研究奖获得者在会议上获得；20场半小时的特邀讲座；40多场演讲，每次20分钟，分四个平行会议进行；还有一场面向公众的免费公开讲座。在CNTA会议上的演讲将涵盖代数数论、解析数论、计算和算法数论、算术几何、表示理论、自同构形式、丢芬图近似以及其他属于或与数论相关的领域。呼吁各方参与谈判的呼声即将到来；有兴趣的发言者将提交简短的摘要，科学委员会将审查其是否适合。应邀发言的演讲者既有年轻的参与者，也有著名的数论专家。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports US participation in a meeting of the Canadian Number Theory Association. The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Universite Laval, for the purpose of enhancing and promoting learning and research in number theory in Canada and beyond. To advance these goals, the CNTA organizes biannual conferences that exhibit new research in number theory, with the aim of exposing Canadian and international students and researchers to the latest developments in the field. This year CNTA XV will be held in Quebec City, July 9-13 2018, with further information available at http://archimede.mat.ulaval.ca/CNTA2018/. The CNTA meetings are among the largest number theory conferences in the world, rivaled in size only by the biannual Journees Arithmetiques which take place in years alternating with the CNTA meetings, usually in southern Europe. The format of CNTA XV will follow the general tradition of the CNTA meetings. It will be a 5-day conference featuring 8 hour-long plenary lectures, one of which will be given by the winner of the 2018 Ribenboim Prize for Distinguished Research in Number Theory, awarded at the meeting; 20 half-hour invited lectures; more than 40 contributed talks of 20 minutes each, delivered in up to four parallel sessions; and a public lecture directed to the general public and free of charge. Talks at CNTA meetings will cover topics in algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, computational and algorithmic number theory, arithmetic geometry, representation theory, automorphic forms, diophantine approximation, and other areas belonging or related to number theory. A call for contributed talks is forthcoming; interested speakers will submit brief abstracts which will be reviewed for suitability by the Scientific Committee. Selected speakers for contributed talks will range from young participants to well-known number theorists.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.
