Month: November 2006

The University of Essen will host a Workshop on Commutative Algebra on Monday 20 November 2006. Speakers will include Kei-ichi Watanabe, Shiro Goto, Siamak Yassemi, Jugal Verma, and Tony Puthenpurakal. For more information, see the workshop web page.

The first annual Kent Regional Algebra Weekend will be held November 18-19, 2006 on the Kent campus of Kent State University. The meeting will consist of approximately eight 50-minute colloquium-style lectures given by researchers from Ohio and neighboring states. The speakers will represent many sub-disciplines of algebra and we expect that the talks will appeal to a broad spectrum of algebraists. The meeting is being organized by Misha Chebotar, Steve Gagola, Mark Lewis, Sean Sather-Wagstaff, and Don White. Further information about the meeting can be found at the conference website.
