ABSTRACT
This award supports participation in three annual conferences in number theory held in Upstate New York; the first conference will take place at Cornell University on April 27-28, 2019, the second conference the University of Rochester in 2020 and the third conference Union College in Schenectady in 2021. Binghamton University, the University at Buffalo and Daemen College will play administrative roles and we expect future conferences to be held in Binghamton and Buffalo. The investigators represent these six different institutions. The conference series seeks to have a broader impact in a number of ways. It will help graduate students and post-docs by exposing them to work of leading experts, by allowing them to communicate their own research and interests, and by giving them the chance to interact with experts, among themselves and with young people from nearby places. It will also allow specialists to disseminate their ideas to a larger audience.
At the level of faculty research, the conference series will continue to stimulate collaborations among several specialists in the region, while at the same time strengthening ties between researchers in Upstate New York and those near Boston, New York City, Montreal, Philadelphia, Princeton, and Toronto. The meetings will catalyze the region's research in number theory and will enrich the opportunities for education and professional development available to junior researchers in the region. The first conference will be centered on the themes of arithmetic geometry over finite fields and new directions in automorphic forms.

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.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
This grant funded the Tenth Annual Upstate Number Theory Conference, which was held October 23-24, 2021 at Union College in Schenectady, NY. The primary goals of this conference are to bring together the specialists from the various branches of number theory in the Upstate New York region and surrounding areas, and to expose younger researchers to new and old problems in the field.
For most participants, this was their first in-person conference since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many participants expressed their extreme appreciation at being able to meet and discuss mathematics with their peers in a face-to-face setting once again.
The conference welcomed more than sixty participants from all across the United States, from senior researchers to undergraduate students, and everywhere in-between. A total of fifty participants received some sort of funding from the grant to enable their attendance, in the form of travel reimbursement, lodging, or both.
There were five invited speakers and twenty-four contributed talks on a wide variety of subtopics within number theory.
At the conclusion of the first day was a career panel, where several scholars at various stages of the academic career path answered questions from younger audience members.
