Since 1981, the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Institute for Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) have managed a program of research conferences, which have been held during the summers at various locations and funded by the National Science Foundation. During this time, more than 9,000 U.S. mathematical scientists have participated in these conferences, which have allowed them to advance their research and make connections with other scientists. For many young mathematicians, these summer conferences have played a crucial role as they enter a specific area of mathematical research.This project consists of three additional one-week conferences in this series to be held during the summer of 2007 at the Snowbird Conference Center in Utah. These three conferences were the results of the traditional solicitation for the Summer Research Conferences (SRCs) proposals carried out during 2005. They were thoroughly reviewed in March 2006 by a twelve-member Selection Committee jointly appointed by the AMS, IMS and SIAM.This proposal requests support for three one-week conferences:1. Derived Categories in Mathematics and Physics2. Interactions of Random Matrix Theory, Integrable Systems and Stochastic Processes3. Symplectic Topology and Measure-Preserving Dynamical Systems Each of these conferences will bring together a core of leading researchers in a mathematical area that is experiencing active expansion of the research frontiers in the field. Each of the organizing committees is composed of leaders in the field of the conference and includes individuals with previous experience in organizing successful workshops and conferences. The programs of these meetings will help bring together groups of individuals working on the core problems from different perspectives and lead to exchanges of concepts and insights that can occur more readily with face-to-face communication. The sponsoring societies have a long track record of attracting outstanding organizing committees and administering them so as to maximize the experience of the participants. These conferences play a major role in career development for young mathematicians. They bring together senior and junior researchers in an ideal environment to establish connections, which often last for many years after the conference itself. In this sense, the conferences help to train the next generation of researchers in various fields. This is especially true with the added emphasis on including recent Ph.D.s. The organizing societies are also keenly aware of the need to increase participation of under-represented groups, and all aspects of the conferences will reflect that awareness. Finally, the proceedings that are produced from these conferences reach mathematicians throughout the world and in every part of the mathematical community. In this way, the work done at these conferences can reach scientists who work in areas far from the specific conference topic and who are separated from the meeting by both place and time.

自1981年以来，美国数学学会（AMS），数学统计研究所（IMS）和工业和应用数学学会（SIAM）管理了一项研究会议计划，该计划在夏季在各个地点举行，并由国家科学基金会资助。 在这段时间里，有9000多名美国数学科学家参加了这些会议，这使他们能够推进研究并与其他科学家建立联系。 对于许多年轻的数学家而言，这些夏季会议在进入数学研究的特定领域时发挥了至关重要的作用。该项目包括在2007年夏季在犹他州雪鸟会议中心举行的本系列中的另外三个一周的会议。 这三个会议是2005年夏季研究会议（SRCS）提议的传统招标结果。2006年3月，由AMS，IMS和SIAM共同任命的十二个成员的选拔委员会在2006年3月进行了彻底的审查。这项建议要求支持三个一周的会议：1。数学和物理学中的派生类别2。随机矩阵理论，整合系统和随机过程的相互作用3。符号拓扑和衡量保护动力学系统每个会议将在数学领域中汇集主要研究人员的核心，该领域正在经历该领域的研究边界的积极扩展。 每个组织委员会都由会议领域的领导人组成，其中包括具有以前组织成功研讨会和会议经验的人。 这些会议的计划将有助于从不同的角度将研究核心问题的个人团体聚集在一起，并导致交流概念和见解，这些概念和见解可以通过面对面的交流更容易发生。 赞助社会在吸引出色的组织委员会和管理它们方面有着悠久的记录，以最大程度地提高参与者的经验。这些会议在年轻数学家的职业发展中起着重要作用。 他们在理想的环境中将高级和初级研究人员聚集在一起，以建立联系，这通常是在会议本身之后持续很多年。 从这个意义上讲，会议有助于培训各个领域的下一代研究人员。 尤其如此强调包括最近的博士学位。 组织社会还敏锐地意识到有必要增加代表性不足的群体的参与，并且会议的各个方面都将反映出这种意识。 最后，这些会议的诉讼程序覆盖了世界各地的数学家以及数学社区的每个部分。 这样，在这些会议上所做的工作就可以接触到在远离特定会议主题的领域工作并且与地点和时间与会议分开的科学家。
