This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, aims to support mathematics graduate students in their transition to research in the areas of combinatorics, algebra, geometry, and number theory (broadly construed). Mentors guide small groups of participants in developing the skills and confidence to read research articles. Sessions on norm setting, belongingness, and professional development foster lasting community among the participants, mentors, and organizers. The workshop is designed to build a welcoming and supportive research community.
The Mentors are:
- Algebra: Ranthony Clark and Yariana Diaz
- Combinatorics: Anastasia Chavez and Rebecca Garcia
- Geometry: Johanna Mangahas and Brandis Whitfield
- Number Theory: Cathy Hsu and Edna Jones
This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
