Wabash Modern Analysis Seminar and Mini-Conference

该奖项支持参加2020 - 2022年的瓦巴什研讨会和小型会议系列会议，其中包括在印第安纳州克劳福兹维尔的瓦巴什学院举行的研讨会，以及在印第安纳州大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯（IUPUI）校园秋季举行的年度周末小型会议。下一届年度小型会议的暂定日期为2020年9月19日至20日。瓦巴什研讨会和小型会议系列的主要目标是汇集研究人员在现代分析工作的社区在中西部地区，沿着建立研究人员从更远的地方，以刺激富有成效的互动，并鼓励研究人员在现代数学分析的不同领域工作之间的合作。多年来，研讨会和小型会议吸引了来自印第安纳州大学、IUPUI、普渡大学、伊利诺伊大学、辛辛那提大学、范德比尔特大学和圣路易斯华盛顿大学等地区机构的众多教职员工、博士后研究人员和研究生。该瓦巴什研讨会系列提供了一个很好的机会，初级研究人员接触，并了解，最新的主要数学发展领域。此外，该系列提供了一个宝贵的机会，以促进研究在中西部地区，帮助初级教师，博士后和研究生在该地区获得曝光，网络，并传播他们的研究，以更广泛的数学界。瓦巴什研讨会和小型会议系列也有助于促进和指导有才华的本科生，为他们的研究生院和研究生涯的数学做好准备。瓦巴什研讨会和小型会议系列是由四个数学系的研究人员联合组织的：印第安纳州大学，IUPUI，普渡大学和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校。来自这些大学的研究小组具有互补的专业知识，跨越了算子代数和算子理论研究的许多主要方向：自由概率，冯诺依曼代数，非交换和粗糙几何，C*-代数及其拓扑不变量，算子空间和非交换调和分析以及与量子信息理论，遍历理论和动力系统以及数论的联系。瓦巴什学院的定期研讨会安排在星期六下午。每次研讨会邀请两名一小时的演讲者，有充足的时间供与会者讨论。小型会议在周末举行，从星期六上午到星期天下午早些时候。七位全体演讲者被邀请进行50分钟的演讲，博士后、研究生、本科生和参观者将进行30分钟的邀请和贡献演讲。瓦巴什研讨会和小型会议系列的网站是：https://www.math.purdue.edu/~tsincla/wabash/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This award supports participation in the 2020 - 2022 meetings of the Wabash Seminar and Mini-Conference series, which consists of seminars held at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and an annual weekend mini-conference held in the fall on the Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus. The tentative dates of the next annual mini-conference are September 19-20, 2020. The main goal of Wabash Seminar and Mini-Conference series is to bring together the community of researchers working in modern analysis in the Midwest region, along with established researchers from farther afield, in order to stimulate fruitful interactions and encourage collaboration among researchers working in different areas of modern mathematical analysis. Over the years, the seminar and mini-conference have attracted numerous faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from Indiana University, IUPUI, Purdue University, University of Illinois, University of Cincinnati, Vanderbilt University, and Washington University in St. Louis, among other regional institutions. The Wabash Seminar series offers an excellent opportunity for junior researchers to be exposed to, and informed about, the latest major mathematical developments in the field. Additionally, the series provides an invaluable opportunity to promote research in the Midwest region, helping junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students in the region to gain exposure within, network with, and disseminate their research to the broader mathematical community. The Wabash Seminar and Mini-Conference series also serves to promote and mentor talented undergraduate students, preparing them for graduate school and research careers in mathematics.The Wabash Seminar and the Mini-Conference series is jointly organized by researchers from four mathematics departments: Indiana University, IUPUI, Purdue University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The research groups from these universities have complementary expertise that spans many of the major directions of research in operator algebras and operator theory: free probability, von Neumann algebras, non-commutative and coarse geometry, C*-algebras and their topological invariants, operator spaces, and non-commutative harmonic analysis as well as connections to quantum information theory, ergodic theory and dynamical systems, and number theory. The regular seminars at Wabash College are scheduled on Saturday afternoons. Two one-hour speakers are invited for each seminar with ample time for discussions among the participants. The Mini-Conference is held over a weekend, from Saturday morning to early afternoon Sunday. Seven plenary speakers are invited to give 50-minute talks, and 30-minute invited and contributed talks are given by postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students, and visitors.The website for the Wabash Seminar and Mini-Conference series is: https://www.math.purdue.edu/~tsincla/wabash/.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.
