The funds from this award will support local expenses for additional participants from US institutions to the Banff International Research Station-Casa Matemática Oaxaca workshop 24w5198, “Optimal Transport and Dynamics” which will be held August 11 to August 16, 2024, in Oaxaca, Mexico. This workshop will focus on applications of the optimal transport problem, a mathematical problem where the goal is to minimize the total cost of transporting mass from one location to another, to problems involving physical processes that change with time. Such processes include interface motion (such as how water spreads on a surface), models for tumor growth, modeling fluid flows, multi-species population dynamics, and reconstruction of the state of the early universe. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to develop connections with and be exposed to the cutting-edge research of well-established leaders in the field. Additionally, the workshop will establish connections between mathematicians and cosmologists, to further accelerate development of the tools and theory behind computation in early universe reconstruction. More information on the workshop may be found at https://www.birs.ca/events/2024/5-day-workshops/24w5198. The workshop will bring together experts working in optimal transport (Monge-Kantorovich) theory with connections to dynamics interpreted in a broad sense. This includes using optimal transport and related tools to analyze and model fluid flows, interface motion in evolutionary PDE, and also the use of dynamical techniques such as the theory of the parabolic Monge-Ampère PDE for computational and theoretical analysis of optimal transport itself. Optimal transport theory has also been used as a computational model for early universe reconstruction that is consistent with the Zel’dovich approximation, by cosmologists with great success. With recent developments in cosmological surveying and the availability of new data, this area is currently experiencing a revival and is a particularly timely topic. The workshop will consist of a combination of short and long talks solicited from participants, with priority given to presentations by early-career researchers (i.e., graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and pre-tenure faculty). To take advantage of the international diversity present in the participant list, there will also be a panel discussion on differences in academic job search procedures in different countries.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.

该奖项的资金将支持美国机构的其他参与者到班夫国际研究站的当地支出，即24W5198，即“最佳运输与动态”，该工程将于2024年8月11日至8月16日在墨西哥的欧哈卡州举行。该研讨会将重点放在最佳运输问题的应用上，这是一个数学问题，目的是最大程度地减少将质量从一个位置转移到另一个位置的总成本，以涉及涉及随时间变化的物理过程的问题。这样的过程包括界面运动（例如水如何在表面上扩散），肿瘤生长模型，建模流体流动，多物种种群动态以及早期宇宙状态的重建。该研讨会将为早期研究人员提供独特的机会，以与该领域良好领导者的尖端研究建立联系并接触。此外，研讨会将建立数学家与宇宙学家之间的联系，以进一步加速早期宇宙重建中计算背后的工具和理论的发展。有关研讨会的更多信息，请访问https://www.birs.ca/events/2024/5-day-workshops/24w5198。该研讨会将汇集专家从事最佳运输（Monge-Kantorovich）理论，并与与动力学有联系的联系。这包括使用最佳传输和相关工具来分析和建模流体流，进化PDE中的界面运动以及动态技术的使用，例如抛物线蒙加蒙格 - ampèrePDE理论用于最佳运输本身的计算和理论分析。最佳运输理论也已被用作早期宇宙重建的计算模型，与Zel’Dovich近似是一致的，宇宙学家取得了巨大的成功。随着宇宙学测量的最新发展和新数据的可用性，该领域目前正在复兴，这是一个特别及时的主题。该研讨会将包括参与者巩固的简短和长期对话的组合，以及早期研究人员（即研究生，博士后研究人员和陈旧的教师）的演讲优先。为了利用参与者列表中存在的国际多样性，还将在不同国家 /地区进行有关学术求职程序差异的小组讨论。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和更广泛的影响来评估标准。
