Many of you will recall the AWM 40th Anniversary conference held in 2011 at Brown University. The enthusiasm generat- The purpose of the Association ed by that conference gave rise to a plan to hold a series of biennial AWM Research for Women in Mathematics is Symposia around the country. The first of these, the AWM Research Symposium 2013, took place this weekend on the beautiful Santa Clara University campus. • to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers The symposium attracted close to 150 participants. The program included 3 plenary in the mathematical sciences, and talks, 10 special sessions on a wide variety of topics, a contributed paper session, • to promote equal opportunity and poster sessions, a panel, and a banquet. The Santa Clara campus was in full bloom the equal treatment of women and and the weather was spectacular. Thankfully, the poster sessions and coffee breaks girls in the mathematical sciences. were held outside in a courtyard or those of us from more frigid climates might have been tempted to play hooky! The event opened with a plenary talk by Maryam Mirzakhani. Mirzakhani is a professor at Stanford and the recipient of multiple awards including the 2013 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize. Her talk was entitled “On Random Hyperbolic Manifolds of Large Genus.” She began by describing how to associate a hyperbolic surface to a graph, then proceeded with a fascinating discussion of the metric properties of surfaces associated to random graphs.

One such prize is the Breakthrough Prize. The Breakthrough Prize is backed by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, among others. The Breakthrough Prize was founded by Brin and Anne Wojcicki, who runs genetic testing firm 23andMe, Chinese businessman Jack Ma, and Russian entrepreneur Yuri Milner and his wife Julia. The Breakthrough Prizes honor important, primarily recent, achievements in the categories of Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics . The prizes were founded in 2012 by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Jack Ma and Cathy Zhang. Committees of previous laureates choose the winners from candidates nominated in a process that’s online and open to the public. Laureates receive $3 million each in prize money. They attend a televised award ceremony designed to celebrate their achievements and inspire the next generation of scientists. As part of the ceremony schedule, they also engage in a program of lectures and discussions. Those that go on to make fresh discoveries remain eligible for future Breakthrough Prizes. The Trophy The Breakthrough Prize trophy was created by Olafur Eliasson. “The whole idea for me started out with, ‘Where do these great ideas come from? What type of intuition started the trajectory that eventually becomes what we celebrate today?’” Like much of Eliasson's work, the sculpture explores the common ground between art and science.

  • Martin's Maximum and Weak Square
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 00, Number 0, Pages 000{000 S 0002-9939(XX)0000-0 MARTIN'S MAXIMUM AND WEAK SQUARE JAMES CUMMINGS AND MENACHEM MAGIDOR (Communicated by Julia Knight) Abstract. We analyse the influence of the forcing axiom Martin's Maximum on the existence of square sequences, with a focus on the weak square principle λ,µ. 1. Introduction It is well known that strong forcing axioms (for example PFA, MM) and strong large cardinal axioms (strongly compact, supercompact) exert rather similar kinds of influence on the combinatorics of infinite cardinals. This is perhaps not so sur- prising when we consider the widely held belief that essentially the only way to obtain a model of PFA or MM is to collapse a supercompact cardinal to become !2. We quote a few results which bring out the similarities: 1a) (Solovay [14]) If κ is supercompact then λ fails for all λ ≥ κ. 1b) (Todorˇcevi´c[15]) If PFA holds then λ fails for all λ ≥ !2. ∗ 2a) (Shelah [11]) If κ is supercompact then λ fails for all λ such that cf(λ) < κ < λ. ∗ 2b) (Magidor, see Theorem 1.2) If MM holds then λ fails for all λ such that cf(λ) = !. 3a) (Solovay [13]) If κ is supercompact then SCH holds at all singular cardinals greater than κ. 3b) (Foreman, Magidor and Shelah [7]) If MM holds then SCH holds. 3c) (Viale [16]) If PFA holds then SCH holds. In fact both the p-ideal di- chotomy and the mapping reflection principle (which are well known con- sequences of PFA) suffice to prove SCH.

The notion of a Lagrangian covering can be used to extend the method of polarizing a nilpotent coadjoint orbit to obtain a unitary representation of G. W. Graham and D. Vogan propose such a construction, relying on the notions of orbital varieties and admissible orbit data. The first part of the thesis seeks to understand the set of orbital varieties contained in a given nipotent orbit. Starting from N. Spaltenstein’s parameterization of the irreducible components of the variety of flags fixed by a unipotent, we produce a parameterization of the orbital varieties lying in the corresponding fiber of the Steinberg map.

  • A Cardinal Preserving Extension Making the Set of Points of Countable V Cofinality Nonstationary
    A CARDINAL PRESERVING EXTENSION MAKING THE SET OF POINTS OF COUNTABLE V COFINALITY NONSTATIONARY MOTI GITIK, ITAY NEEMAN, AND DIMA SINAPOVA Abstract. Assuming large cardinals we produce a forcing extension of V which preserves cardinals, does not add reals, and makes the set of points of countable V cofinality in κ+ nonstationary. Continuing to force further, we obtain an extension in which the set of points of countable V cofinality in ν is nonstationary for every regular ν ≥ κ+. Finally we show that our large cardinal assumption is optimal. The results in this paper were inspired by the following question, posed in a preprint (http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0509633v1, 27 September 2005) to the paper Viale [9]: Suppose V ⊂ W and V and W have the same cardinals and the same reals. Can it be shown, in ZFC alone, that for every cardinal κ, there is in V a <ω + partition {As | s ∈ κ } of the points of κ of countable V cofinality, into disjoint sets which are stationary in W ? In this paper we show that under some assumptions on κ there is a reals and cardinal preserving generic extension W which satisfies that the set of points of κ+ of countable V cofinality is nonstationary. In particular, a partition as above cannot be found for each κ. Continuing to force further, we produce a reals and cardinal preserving extension in which the set of points of λ of countable V cofinality is nonstationary for every regular λ ≥ κ+. All this is done under the large cardinal assumption that for each α<κ there exists θ<κ with Mitchell order at least α.

I first met Miss Lehr when I was interviewing for a position at Bryn Mawr. She enthusiastically attended my talk and most of our colloquia for the next few years; some of you may remember her from the panel discussion at the Emmy Noether Symposium. Several years ago, Pat Kenschaft wrote an article about Miss Lehr that appeared in this Newsletter. Pat tells me that Marguerite liked the article very much, and so we are reprinting it in this issue, as a tribute to an extraordinary woman.

Also, many thanks to outgoing officers Vivienne Mayes and Evelyn Silvia (Members-at-Large) and Treasurer Lyrmell Stern. Lynnell has devoted considerable time to AWM, and we are most grateful for the expert job she has done. Atlanta. After the tranquility of Salt Lake City, the Atlanta meetings seemed somewhat hectic. AWM activities were very exciting, with large audiences attending all of our events. Karen Uhlenbeck (University of Texas at Austin) presented this year's Emmy Noether Lecture, "Moment Maps in Stable Bundles: Where Analysis, Algebra, and Topology Meet." The AWM panel, "Is the Climate for Women in Mathematics Changing?," was moderated by Judith Roitman, with panelists Mary Ellen Rudin, Louise Hay, Karen Uhlenbeck, and Nancy Stanton.

  • Printed Program and Abstracts
    Printed Program and Abstracts Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry The purpose of the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry is to bring together researchers who use algebraic geometry in industrial and applied mathematics. “Algebraic geometry” is interpreted broadly to include at least: algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, noncommutative algebra, symbolic and numeric computation, algebraic and geometric combinatorics, representation theory, and algebraic topology. These methods have already seen applications in: biology, coding theory, cryptography, combustion, computational geometry, computer graphics, quantum computing, control theory, geometric design, complexity theory, machine learning, nonlinear partial differential equations, optimization, robotics, and statistics. We welcome participation from both theoretical mathematical areas and application areas not on this list which fall under this broadly interpreted notion of algebraic geometry and its applications.
