Conference in Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics

该奖项将为美国参与者，特别是女性，研究生，博士后和初级教师提供支持，参加第三十一届和第三十二届正式权力系列和代数组合学（FPSAC）国际会议，于2019年7月1日至5日在斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那大学举行，并于2020年7月13日至17日在以色列拉马特甘的巴伊兰大学举行。 作为世界上最重要的代数组合学年度会议系列，FPSAC为年轻的美国研究人员提供了一个与来自许多国家的顶级数学家密切互动的独特机会。每次会议包括九个一小时的全体演讲，三十个半小时的贡献演讲和四十张海报，将吸引来自世界各地的200多名与会者。FPSAC会议的一个显着特点是共同努力，以表彰和鼓励优秀的年轻科学家。至少有一位全体发言人是“新兴的星星”，有才华的年轻研究人员在被选中参加贡献会谈的发言人中有很好的代表性。FPSAC会议的另一个特点是持续的包容性传统。会议力求吸引代表性不足的群体的实质性参与。此外，英语和法语已被指定为FPSAC 2019和2020的官方语言，以促进参与者的多元化。出席这次会议将是非常有价值的研究生和初级研究人员。有些跨学科的，会议联系在组合学的研究，在纯数学的其他主题，如代数几何，交换代数，表示论，K理论和辛几何，并在其他科学的主题，如计算机科学，物理学和生物学。 更多信息可以在http://fpsac2019.fmf.uni-lj.si/上找到，http://fpsac.org/confs/fpsac-2020/.This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 will provide support for US participants, especially women, graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty, to attend the thirty-first and thirty-second international conferences in Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC), held at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia on July 1-5, 2019 and Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, Israel on July 13-17, 2020. The most important annual conference series in algebraic combinatorics in the world, FPSAC offers young American researchers a unique opportunity to interact closely with top mathematicians from many countries. Each conference, which includes nine one-hour plenary lectures, thirty half-hour contributed talks, and forty posters, will attract over 200 participants from all over the world.A distinguishing characteristic of FPSAC conferences is the concerted effort to recognize and encourage outstanding young scientists. At least one plenary speaker is an "emerging star," and talented young researchers are well represented among the speakers selected for contributed talks. Another special feature of the FPSAC conferences is a continued tradition of inclusiveness. The conference seeks to draw substantial participation from underrepresented groups. Furthermore, English and French have been designated as official languages for FPSAC 2019 and 2020 to promote a diverse pool of participants. Attendance at this conference will be exceptionally valuable for graduate students and junior researchers. Somewhat interdisciplinary, the conferences link research in combinatorics to other topics in pure mathematics such as algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, representation theory, K-theory and symplectic geometry, and to topics in other sciences such as computer science, physics, and biology.
