ABSTRACT
This award provides three-years of funding to help defray the expenses of participants in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 events in the "Prairie Analysis Seminar" series. The meeting in the first year of the award will be held on September 25-26, 2015, on the campus of Kansas State University, with the conference moving to the University of Kansas in Fall 2016 and returning to Kansas State in Fall 2017.
The Fall 2015 event will be the thirteenth edition of the Prairie Analysis Seminar, an annual regional conference serving the Midwest that has over the years showcased a wide range of topics in analysis. The featured speakers at the 2015 meeting will be David Kinderlehrer and Rob McCann. The format for the conference provides ample opportunity for graduate students, postdocs, and other young scientists to present their work
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT

This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award.

This award provided financial support for the 2015, 2016, and 2017 editions of ThePrairie Analysis Seminar. This annual event started in 2001 brings together leading analysts, early career mathematicians, and students for a day and a half conference that focuses on currently active areas of mathematical research. The conference alternates its location between the campuses of the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and Kansas State University, Manhattan. A characteristic feature of the seminar is that it allows for junior researchers to learn from world experts about the latest advances in their discipline, while also giving them a chance to present their own work, receive feedback, and establish a network of both peer and senior colleagues.
The Prairie Analysis Seminar has become a nationally recognized event and it is one of the few analysis conferences taking place in the fall semester. Initially thought as a way to promote mathematics research in the prairie geographical region of the organizing universities, the seminar is nowadays attended by mathematicians form very diverse institutions across the country. The 2015 and 2017 editions took place at Kansas State University while the 2016 one was at the University of Kansas. The main speakers of the 2015 seminar presented work on optimal transport. In 2016, the core topics where partial differential equations in non-smooth domains, multilineal analysis, and some combinatorial aspects of geometrics problems. Finally, the 2017 seminar focused on geometric properties of sets in Euclidean space related to the notion of rectifiability, a crucial property associated with the ability to do analysis and solve differential equations on rough geometries. All these topics have connections to many other areas of mathematics and lead to a better understanding of analytic and geometric objects. This understanding is fundamental in the solution of equations which govern many physical phenomena which are modeled through the analytic and geometric objects studied in mathematics. The events were highly attended by students and early career mathematicians. The organizers of the seminar were successful in attracting the participation of individuals from underrepresented groups in mathematics.
