Number Theory Series in Los Angeles

洛杉矶数论系列赛的第一次会议将于2019年秋季在西方学院举行；第二次会议将于2020年2月在西方学院举行。第三次和第四次会议将分别于2020年秋末和2021年春季在南加州的一家机构举行。有关会议日期、当地信息、演讲者和日程安排的更多详细信息将在会议网站上公布：http://jim-brown.oxycreates.org/NTS-LA.每一次会议的主题都是数论，这是广义的解释。保持主题广泛的目的是鼓励在发言者和与会者方面更多样化的与会者群体，并促进与会者之间的合作。每次会议将有两名全体演讲者和一名研究生全体演讲者。这些全体演讲者将从南加州以外的地区选出。与该地区的其他数论会议不同，这些会议的主要重点将是来自所有类型机构的各级数学家的贡献演讲，包括没有定期获得研讨会和研究资金的机构的本科生和研究生以及教职员工。贡献的演讲将主要由位于南加州或合理驾驶距离的数学家进行。虽然洛杉矶地区有许多研讨会，但当地机构的教职员工如果没有这样的研讨会，往往找不到时间参加这些研讨会。此外，这些教师以及本科生和研究生往往没有机会在这些研讨会上展示他们的结果。洛杉矶数论系列的一个主要目标是向南加州的这些数学家群体展示一个机会，让他们了解该地区以外的知名数学家以及该地区其他人的最新研究，并谈论他们自己的研究。这些会议将促进与会者之间的合作，并在南加州创建一个更紧密和多样化的数字理论家社区。NSF的资助使这一机会能够在不向参与者支付巨额费用的情况下呈现。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。

The first meeting of the Number Theory Series in Los Angeles will take place at Occidental College in Fall, 2019; the second meeting will take place at Occidental College in February 2020. The third and fourth meeting will take place in late Fall, 2020 and Spring, 2021 respectively at an institution in Souther California. More detailed information about dates, local information, speakers, and schedules will be posted at the conference website: http://jim-brown.oxycreates.org/NTS-LA. The topic of each meeting is number theory, broadly construed. The intent of keeping the topic broad is to encourage a more diverse group of participants in terms of speakers and attendees, and to foster collaboration amongst those in attendance. Each meeting will feature two plenary speakers and one graduate student plenary speaker. These plenary speakers will be chosen from outside of Southern California. Unlike other number theory meetings in the region, the primary focus of these meetings will be on contributed talks from mathematicians at all levels from all types of institutions, including undergraduate and graduate students and faculty at institutions without regular access to seminars and research funds. The contributed talks will primarily be given by mathematicians located in Southern California or a reasonable driving distance. While there are numerous seminars in the Los Angeles region, faculty at local institutions without such seminars are often unable to find time to attend these seminars. In addition, these faculty, along with undergraduate and graduate students, are often not afforded the opportunity to present their results in these seminars. A primary goal of the Number Theory Series in Los Angeles is to present these populations of mathematicians in Southern California with an opportunity to hear about the latest research from prominent mathematicians from outside the region, as well as others in the region, and to speak about their own research. These meetings will foster collaborations among the participants and create a more tight knit and diverse community of number theorists in Southern California. NSF funding allows this opportunity to be presented without significant cost to the participants.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.
