Conference: Young Mathematicians in C*-Algebras 2022

该奖项为美国的参与者，包括数学科学中代表性不足的团体的成员，提供资金，以参加2022年8月8日至12日在挪威奥斯陆大学举行的“C*-代数青年数学家(YMC*A)”会议。这次会议是为算子代数和相关领域的研究生和博士后研究人员组织的，目的是促进早期研究人员之间的科学和社会互动。在之前的六个版本中，YMC*A为来自世界各地的一百多名初出茅庐的算子代数学家提供了一个极好的机会，让他们参加关于当前算子代数研究主题的小型课程。2022年大会的网络机会得到了小组讨论的支持，小组讨论向所有与会者开放，小组讨论涵盖职业建议和公平问题，并在整个会议期间通过非正式的数学讨论。会议侧重于算子代数、非对易几何和数学分析相关领域的最新发展，特别强调算子代数与K理论、调和分析和量子化领域之间的相互作用。会议的特色是由知名研究人员提供的三个迷你课程，以及与会者贡献的许多演讲，以及旨在增加算符代数中未被充分代表的基团的保留的指导活动。有关此次会议的更多信息，请访问：https://ymcstara.org.This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。

This award provides funding for U.S.-based participants, including members of underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences, to participate in the conference "Young Mathematicians in C*-Algebras (YMC*A)", held August 8-12, 2022 at the University of Oslo, Norway. This meeting is organized for and by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in operator algebras and related areas, with the goal of fostering scientific and social interaction between early-career researchers. In each of its previous six editions, YMC*A has provided an excellent opportunity for over one hundred early-career operator algebraists from around the world to attend mini-courses on current research topics in operator algebras. Networking opportunities at the 2022 edition of the conference are supported by a panel discussion, open to all participants, which covers career advice and issues of equity and by informal mathematical discussions throughout the duration of the meeting.The conference focuses on recent developments in operator algebras, noncommutative geometry, and related areas of mathematical analysis, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between operator algebras and the fields of K-theory, harmonic analysis, and quantization. The conference features three mini-courses by established researchers alongside many contributed talks by participants, and mentoring activities designed to increase retention of underrepresented groups in operator algebras. More information about the conference is available at: https://ymcstara.org.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.
