Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory

Abstract Award: DMS-0503444 Principal Investigator: Justin T. Moore The Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory is an annual three day conference at Boise State University devoted to set theory and related areas of mathematics such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics, logic, and topology. It has occurred continuously since the first conference in 1992. This proposal is a request for travel and lodging support for the invited speakers and participants who attend the conference (particularly students and junior researchers). The main goals of the conference are as follows: (1) Provide the Western US with an annual conference in set theory; (2) Provide an organized low-cost event accessible to graduate students and young researchers; (3) Provide an opportunity for interaction between the leaders in the field and set theorists early in their careers; (4) Provide a forum for interactions between set theory and related areas of mathematics; (5) Represent the many different sub-disciplines within set theory; (6) Encourage participation by women and minorities when possible.
