Extractions: with the participation of Organizers: Nigel Higson (Pennsylvania State U.), Jerry Kaminker (Indiana U.), Shmuel Weinberger (U. Chicago) The proposers are presently the recipients of a Focused Research Group grant from NSF on this topic. The summer of 2003 would be the final one funded by thegrant and it would be particularly appropriate to have a summer school on the topic to survey the work done over thethree years of the grant and to formulate the next set of problems which will be worked on. There have been a series of summer schoolsand training session in Europe over the past few years on this topic and while senior researchers from Canada and US have been able to participate, there has been less opportunity for younger mathematicians and graduate students from North (or South) America to take part. A program as we are requesting would contribute to changing that situation. It should be emphasized that the lectures given would be expository and aimed at educating both graduate students andyoung researchers, (as well as senior scientists) in less familiar aspects of the subjects. In particular, we would have a lecture series on Group C*-algebras and Connections with Dynamics,and one on Geometric Group Theory and connections with Noncommutative Geometry.

Weil Conjectures

http://www.fact-index.com/w/we/weil_conjectures.html

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index In mathematics , the Weil conjectures , which had become theorems by 1975, were some highly-influential proposals from the late 1940s by Andre Weil on the generating functions (known as local zeta-functions) derived from counting the number of points on algebraic varieties over finite fields . The main burden was that such zeta-functions should be rational functions, should satisfy a form of functional equation, and should have their zeroes in restricted places. The last two parts were quite consciously modelled on the Riemann Zeta function and Riemann hypothesis In fact the case of curves over finite fields had been proved by Weil himself, finishing the project started by Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves over finite fields. The conjectures were natural enough in one direction, simply proposing that known good properties would extend. Their interest was obvious enough from within number theory , since they implied the existence of machinery that would provide upper bounds for exponential sums of interest in analytic number theory What was really eye-catching from the point of view of other mathematicians was the proposed connection with algebraic topology . Given that finite fields are discrete in nature and topology speaks only about the continuous, the detailed formulation of Weil (based on working out some examples) was striking in the way that it suggested that geometry over finite fields should fit into well-known patterns relating to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjecture

Extractions: In mathematics , a conjecture is a mathematical statement which has been proposed as a true statement, but which no one has yet been able to prove or disprove. Once a conjecture has been proven, it becomes known as a theorem , and it joins the realm of mathematical facts. Until that point in time, mathematicians must be extremely careful about their use of a conjecture within logical structures. Conjectural means presumed to be real, true, or genuine, mostly based on inconclusive grounds (cf. hypothetical ). The term was used by Karl Popper , in the context of scientific philosophy.

In the process, a special case of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture , itself a longstanding open problem, was proven; this conjecture has since been completely proven. Other famous conjectures include: The Langlands program is a far reaching web of ' unifying conjectures ' that link different subfields of mathematics, e.g.

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition In mathematics Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics. Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships.

He was brother of the philosopher Simone Weil. Born in Paris, he studied in Paris, Rome and Göttingen and received his doctorate in 1928. A conscientious objector and Jew, Weil fled France for Finland when World War II broke out. A famous anecdote was confirmed in his autobiography: after having been arrested under suspicion of espionage in Finland, he was saved from being shot only by the intervention of Rolf Nevanlinna.

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition In commutative algebra In abstract algebra, commutative algebra is the field of study of commutative rings, their ideals, modules and algebras. It is foundational both for algebraic geometry and for algebraic number theory. The most prominent example for commutative rings are polynomial rings. The subject's real founder, in the days when it was called ideal theory , should be considered to be David Hilbert. He seems to have thought of it (around 1900) as an alternate approach that could replace the then-fashionable complex function theory. In line with his thinking, computational aspects were secondary to the structural. The additional module concept, present in some form in Kronecker's work, is technically an improvement on working always directly on the special case of Click the link for more information. , the homological conjectures have been a focus of research activity since the early 1960s.

Extractions: Conjectures and Refutations 'The central thesis of the essays and lectures gathered together in this stimulating volume is that our knowledge, and especially our scientific knowledge, progresses by unjustified (and unjustifiable) anticipations, by guesses, by tentative solutions to our problems, in a word by conjectures. Professor Popper puts forward his views with a refreshing self-confidence.' The Times Literary Supplement Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper's most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insight into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge, but our aims and our standards, grow through an unending process of trial and error. Popper brilliantly demonstrates how knowledge grows by guesses or conjectures and tentative solutions, which must then be subjected to critical tests. Although they may survive any number of tests, our conjectures remain conjectures, they can never be established as true. What makes Conjectures and Refutations such an enduring book is that Popper goes on to apply this bold theory of the growth of knowledge to a fascinating range of important problems, including the role of tradition, the origin of the scientific method, the demarcation between science and metaphysics, the body-mind problem, the way we use language, how we understand history, and the dangers of public opinion. Throughout the book, Popper stresses the importance of our ability to learn from our mistakes.

http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/23000/article/23029

Extractions: New York, NY 10025 It is indeed astounding to see how far some can stretch their imaginations to find "evidence" of white racism. Consider the example of Dr. Ernest Johnson, a psychologist who concludes, from his study of 1,000 Florida tenth-graders, that black teens tend to be angrier than their white peers. Theorizing that this black anger is bred by white America's many racists, Dr. Johnson does not even speculate as to whether it may result, at least in part, from the constant threat of black predators terrorizing their own neighborhoods. Nor does he trace it, even in part, to the fact that scarcely 35 percent of black youngsters currently live in two-parent homes. But if, as Dr. Saunders claims, black hypertension rates implicate white racism, how then are we to interpret suicide rates? By Saunders' logic, the comparative suicide rates of blacks and whites should reveal important information about the relative degrees of stress afflicting members of each race. A disproportionately high incidence of suicide among blacks, for example, would surely be hailed by "civil rights" messiahs as evidence that racism was casting its deadly shadow over the souls of black Americans.
