From Permutation Groups to Model Theory

该奖项支持美国研究人员和学生参加将于2018年9月17日至21日在苏格兰爱丁堡国际数学科学中心举行的“从置换群到模型理论”会议。 本次研讨会将汇集三个不同领域的研究人员：模型论，群论和组合学，以及计算机科学。预期的主题包括：伪有限群的模型理论，特别是因为它涉及到近似子群和模型理论的驯服，计算学习理论和模型理论之间的相互作用，在VC维领域，渐近类和可测结构的主题，以及约旦置换群的理论。 有关会议的详细信息可在http://www.icms.org.uk/permutationgroups.php上找到。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award supports the participation of US-based researchers and students in the conference "From Permutation Groups to Model Theory" to be held at the International Centre for the Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh, Scotland during the week of the 17th to the 21st of September, 2018. This workshop will bring together researchers in three different fields: model theory, group theory and combinatorics, with a touch of computer science as well. Expected topics include: the model theory of pseudofinite groups especially as it relates to approximate subgroups and model theoretic tameness, interactions between computational learning theory and model theory in the area of VC-dimension, the subject of asymptotic classes and measurable structures, and the theory of Jordan permutation groups. Details about the conference may be found at http://www.icms.org.uk/permutationgroups.php .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.
