The Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium (WAGS) is a series of biannual conferences in the field of algebraic geometry. This award supports six WAGS conferences which will be held at University of Utah on November 2-3, 2019, at Pomona College in Spring 2020, at Stanford in Fall 2020, at University of Colorado in Spring 2021, at University of Washington in Fall 2021, at UCLA in Spring 2022. (While the first two locations are established, some variation in location may happen as a consequence of unforeseen circumstances.) Algebraic geometry is a central subject in mathematics, with deep and substantial connections to almost every aspect of modern mathematics: besides its central role in fundamental research, several recent applications of algebraic geometry (to robotics, big data, machine learning, financial mathematics etc) have made its contributions to society at large more immediate and visible. This broad and active field is widely represented in the Western United States. The primary goal of WAGS is to foster knowledge and communication among members of the algebraic geometry community in the western part of the United States; particular attention is given to fostering an equitable and inclusive environment where all members of the algebraic geometry community can find stimulus and support in pursing excellence in their mathematical activity. Information about the conference series may be found at www.wagsymposium.org.For almost twenty years WAGS has served as a catalyst for the development of algebraic geometry in the Western region of the United States. The collaboration between Cascini, Hacon and McKernan that lead to massive progress in the minimal model program was born through interactions at WAGS. At WAGS Bertram was first exposed to Bridgeland stability conditions, which are now an important aspect of his research activity. Several young researchers, including the PI of this grant, found their PhD thesis problem or benefited from interactions with senior mathematicians at WAGS. Graduate students on the job market have had the occasion to present their work in WAGS poster sessions. Besides continuing the excellent work that has been done, WAGS is seeking to enlarge and improve its scope: besides selecting excellent researchers and communicators as speakers, we endeavor to give a broad representation of both areas of algebraic geometry and of speakers; besides poster sessions, we want to introduce capsule talks and panels to aid the development of younger mathematicians; in particular we are seeking to devote the first afternoon of the conference to some activity organized by and for graduate students, as a way to give junior mathematician ownership of part of the conference with a minimal organizational burden.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.

西方代数几何研讨会（WAGS）是代数几何学领域的一系列双年一次会议。该奖项支持六次货车会议，​​该会议将于2019年11月2日至3日在2020年春季的波莫纳学院（Pomona College）在2021年春季在2021年春季在科罗拉多大学的斯坦福大学在2021年秋季在2021年秋季在华盛顿大学的斯坦福大学举行。几何学是数学上的一个核心主题，几乎与现代数学的几乎每个方面都有深厚的联系：除了其在基础研究中的核心作用外，代数几何学的最新应用（与机器人，大数据，机器学习，金融数学等）对社会的贡献更为直接和更可见。这个广阔而活跃的领域在美国西部广泛代表。摇摆的主要目标是在美国西部的代数几何界成员之间建立知识和交流；特别注意促进一个公平且包容的环境，在该环境中，代数几何社区的所有成员都可以找到刺激和支持，以追求其数学活动。有关会议系列的信息可以在www.wagsymposium.org.org上找到近二十年的货车，已成为美国西部地区代数几何形状发展的催化剂。 Cascini，Hacon和McKernan之间的合作在最小模型计划中取得了巨大进展，这是通过WAGS的互动来诞生的。在Wags，Bertram首先暴露于Bridgeland稳定性条件，这现在是他研究活动的重要方面。包括这笔赠款的PI在内的几位年轻研究人员发现了他们的博士学位论文问题，或者从与WAG的高级数学家互动中受益。就业市场上的研究生有机会在WAG海报会议上介绍他们的作品。除了继续完成的出色工作外，WAG还试图扩大和改善其范围：除了选择优秀的研究人员和传播者作为演讲者外，我们还努力为代数几何和演讲者的两个领域提供广泛的代表；除海报会议外，我们还想介绍胶囊谈判和面板，以帮助年轻数学家的发展。特别是，我们正在寻求将会议的第一个下午专门用于研究生和研究生组织的一些活动，以此来赋予初级数学家对一部分会议的所有权，并以最小的组织负担为由。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得的支持。
