ABSTRACT
This award supports the participation of US-based researchers in the "Quasiworld Workshop", a mathematics conference held August 14-18, 2023 at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The event provides an excellent opportunity for the participants, especially those who are at an early stage in their career, to learn new developments in their field and to potentially establish collaborations with international experts. Supporting US researchers to attend the conference therefore contributes to the growth of mathematics in the United States.
The focus of the conference is on the intersection of the mathematical fields of geometry, analysis, dynamics, and probability. There have been a number of recent breakthroughs involving the interaction between two or more of these different areas, and it is important for US-based mathematicians to stay informed about these developments. Opportunities to learn from and form collaborations with international researchers are invaluable, especially for early-career researchers, and such opportunities have been particularly scarce in recent years. More information about the meeting is available at https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/quasiworld-workshop.
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 project funded the travel of 22 US mathematicians to attend the "Quasiworld Workshop" conference held in Helsinki, Finland on August 14-18, 2023. This was a major international conference focusing on analysis and geometry and featuring 23 plenary speakers from North America and Europe.
The talks exhibited developments at the boundaries of analysis, geometry, probability, and dynamics. A major theme concerned the interactions of non-smooth and quasiconformal analysis with other fields such as probability, group theory, hyperbolic geometry, differential equations, graph theory, and complex dynamics.
These interactions have been the source of many recent breakthroughs, and it is of great interest for US-based participants to learn about these new ideas. Moreover, many of the leading international experts and conferences on these topics are in Europe, making collaboration with US mathematicians more difficult. Thus, through this grant, US-based participants were able to learn about these recent developments and meet and form collaborations with international experts, strengthening US mathematics research.
The 22 funded participants formed, by design, a diverse group of primarily early-career mathematicians: 11 were Ph.D. students, 4 were postdocs, 4 were assistant professors or lecturers, and 3 were tenured professors who gave plenary talks. The conference was advertised to US participants via the popular “Quasiworld” mailing list and the calendars of the American Mathematical Society and Association for Women in Mathematics. Information about the talks, including abstracts, are available on the conference website.
