INSTITUTE FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED FOR 1993-94

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences invites 
applications for Institute Junior Fellowships for the 1993-94 
program year.  These fellowships will be tenable for two years, 
the second of which will be held at McMaster University, the 
University of Toronto or McGill University.  Candidates should 
possess a PhD degree in mathematical sciences and have a strong 
research record.  Partial support may also be available for a 
limited number of additional participants and graduate students 
working in the program area.

Applications, including curriculum vitae and three letters of 
reference sent directly to the Institute on your behalf, should be 
sent by January 15, 1993 to:

Dr. J.E. Marsden, Director
The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

In 1993-94 the Institute will be sponsoring an emphasis year on 
aspects of number theory having connections with L-Functions.  The 
activities will center around a major conference (March 21-25, 
1994), together with three additional workshops on "Galois Module 
Structure" (Victor Snaith and Al Weiss - October 18-22, 1993), 
"Algebraic K-theory and Arithmetic" (Victor Snaith and Manfred 
Kolster - February 28-March 4, 1994) and "L-functions and 
automorphic forms" (Kumar and Ram Murty - April 11-15, 1994).  In 
addition, particularly during the period September 1-December 31, 
1993, a series of graduate and postgraduate courses of various 
lengths will be given by members of the organising committee and 
by visitors.  These courses will be designed to introduce graduate 
students to several of the topics which will be featured in the 
conferences, workshops and seminars throughout the programme.

The organising committee for the programme consists of Manfred 
Kolster and Victor Snaith (McMaster University), Kumar Murty 
(University of Toronto) and Ram Murty (McGill University) 
supplemented by an advisory panel of Spencer Bloch (University of 
Chicago), John Coates (University of Cambridge) and Martin Taylor 
(University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology).

Invited senior participants include (an asterisk indicates 
tentative acceptance) :  A.Beilinson, S.Bloch*, T.Chinburg, 
J.Coates*, C.Deninger, E.Fouvry, A.Frolich*, R.Greenberg, 
B.Gross, M.Harris, U.Jannsen*, K.Kato, V.Kolyvagin*, B.Mazur, 
F.Momose, T.Nguyen Quang Do*, B.Perrin-Riou, D.Ramakrishnan, 
K.Ribet, K.Rubin, S.Saito, P.Schneider*, C.Soule*, M.J.Taylor*, 
R.Taylor, A.Weiss*, D.Zagier.
