Research Workshops, UCONN Special Semester in Probability

作为2018年概率学特别专题学期的一部分，康涅狄格大学数学系将在概率论的三个突出领域举办全国范围的研究研讨会：1）二聚体模型和可积概率的最新进展，2018年8月15日至16日，艾弗里点校区; 2）数学金融，2018年10月12日至13日，斯托尔斯校区; 3）功能不平等，2018年11月2日至3日，斯托尔斯校园。研究讲习班由该补助金支持，并补充了由该部门资助的特别学期（包括公开讲座和座谈会系列）的其他活动。 每个研讨会将邀请一组各自领域的杰出领导人参加。讲习班的目标是将来自全国各地的研究人员聚集在一起，在他们职业生涯的各个阶段传播思想，进行合作和建立网络，直接接触应邀的演讲者。 特别关注，关注和资助机会将给予早期职业研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。具体而言，这笔赠款将用于支持每个研讨会约10名早期职业参与者。参与者将有机会为特殊学期的程序做出贡献，出现在Birkhauser系列的概率进展中。讲习班将在网上（如IMS会议网站和mathprograms.org）、通过电子邮件名单和网络，特别是妇女参与概率网络（womeninprobability.org）和北美妇女概率学家邮件名单，以及通过会议通知、给同事的电子邮件和海报进行广泛宣传。 关于特别学期和研究研讨会的更多细节可以在www.example.com上找到（临时URL draft.probsem18.math.uconn.edu）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。probsem18.math.uconn.edu

As part of a special thematic semester in probability in 2018, the mathematics department at the University of Connecticut will be holding research workshops of national scope in three prominent areas of probability theory: 1) Recent Progress on Dimer Model and Integrable Probability, Aug 15-16 2018, Avery Point campus; 2) Mathematical Finance, Oct 12-13 2018, Storrs campus; 3) Functional Inequalities, Nov 2-3 2018, Storrs campus. The research workshops are supported by this grant and complement the other activities in the special semester (including a public lecture and colloquia series), funded by the department. Each workshop will feature a group of invited distinguished leaders in the respective area. The goals of the workshops are to bring together researchers from all parts of the country and at all stages of their career to disseminate ideas, collaborate and network, having direct access to the invited speakers. Particular focus, attention and funding opportunities will be given to early-career researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups. Specifically, this grant will be used to support about ten early-career participants per workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the proceedings from the special semester, to appear in a volume of the Birkhauser series Progress in Probability. The workshops will be widely advertised online (e.g. IMS meetings website and mathprograms.org), through email lists and networks, specifically the Women in Probability network (womeninprobability.org) and the mailing list of women probabilists in North America, as well as through announcements in meetings, emails to colleagues, and posters. More details on the special semester and the research workshops can be found on probsem18.math.uconn.edu (temporary URL draft.probsem18.math.uconn.edu)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.
