Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras 2019

该奖项支持参加2019年5月3日至2019年5月9日在范德比尔特大学举行的非交换几何和算子代数春季研究所（NCGOA），特别是研究生和早期职业研究人员。该奖项为职业生涯早期的研究人员、未被充分代表的研究人员以及没有其他支持来源的研究人员提供了参加本次会议的机会。组委会正在努力从这些群体中招募演讲者和与会者，以促进多样性。会议将集中讨论拓扑学、量子代数、拓扑凝聚态物理、子因子理论和量子信息理论的共同主题和最新发展。2019年春季NCGOA会议的主题将是“代数和几何量化和量化”。会议将强调算子代数、拓扑和量子物理之间的相互作用，特别是数学共形场论、拓扑凝聚态物理和拓扑量子计算。会议的主要目标之一是探讨数学和物理之间应该追求什么样的相互作用，以及可以开辟什么样的路径来绕过计算障碍，从而对流形、量子物理、子因子和平面代数、信息论和复杂性产生更深入的理解。NCGOA 2019将与第34届香克斯讲座同时举行，该讲座将由菲尔兹奖获得者迈克尔·弗里德曼（Michael Freedman）发表。更多信息可以在https://my.vanderbilt.edu/ncgoa2019/This上找到，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 participation, particularly by graduate students and early-career researchers, in the Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras (NCGOA) held at Vanderbilt University from May 3, 2019 to May 9, 2019. The award gives early-career researchers, researchers who are members of underrepresented groups, and researchers without other sources of support an opportunity to participate in this conference. The organizing committee is making efforts to recruit speakers and attendees from these groups to promote diversity. The conference will focus on common themes and recent developments in topology, quantum algebra, topological condensed matter physics, subfactor theory, and quantum information theory. The topic of the Spring 2019 NCGOA meeting will be "Algebra and Geometry Quantized and Quantified." The conference will emphasize the interaction among operator algebras, topology, and quantum physics, in particular mathematical conformal field theory, topological condensed matter physics, and topological quantum computing. One of the main goals of the meeting is to explore what interactions between mathematics and physics should be pursued and what paths may be open to skirt computational barriers to produce a deeper understanding of manifolds, quantum physics, subfactors and planar algebras, information theory, and complexity. NCGOA 2019 will be held in conjunction with the 34th Shanks Lecture, which will be delivered by Fields Medalist Michael Freedman.
