Summary
This award will support US based mathematicians to attend an international conference, titled “Meeting in the Middle: Conference on Characteristic 0 and Characteristic p Multiple Zeta Values”, held March 16-20, 2026, at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. This conference is planned to be a "building bridges"-type conference. It will bring together researchers from two separate, but related areas of mathematics: Multiple Zeta Values (MZV) over function fields (characteristic p) and MZV over the real numbers (characteristic 0). These two groups are concentrated largely in Japan and the US/EU respec
