Month: October 2009

The 2009 Fall Southeastern AMS Meeting will be held in Boca Raton, FL, October 30 – November 1, 2009. There will be at least two three special sessions of interest to the commalg community at this meeting:

• Special Session on Commutative Ring Theory, organized by Alan Loper and Lee Klingler. See the AMS website for this session for more information.
• Special Session on Homological Aspects of Module Theory, organized by Andy Kustin, Sean Sather-Wagstaff, and Janet Vassilev. See the webpage maintained by the organizers or the AMS website for the session for more information.
• Special Session on Graded Resolutions, organized by Chris Francisco and Irena Peeva. See the AMS website for the session for more information.

There will be a workshop, sponsored by AIM, October 26 to October 30, 2009, devoted to developing the following three packages for Macaulay 2.

1. Algebraic statistics
2. Numerical algebraic geometry
3. Toric algebraic geometry

These three topics are all very active areas of research in computational algebra and algebraic geometry and are linked in surprising ways which lends them nicely to be the three packages of focus for this workshop.
For more information on the packages, the goals of the workshop and the application to attend, please go to the workshop web page.

There will be (at least) three Special Sessions of interest to commutative algebraists at the 2009 Fall Eastern Section Meeting of the AMS in University Park, PA, October 24-25, 2009:

• Amanda Beecher and Alex Tchernev will organize a Special Session on Combinatorial and Homological Aspects of Commutative Algebra.
• Janet Striuli and Jooyoun Hong will organize a Special Session on Commutative Algebra and applications to Algebraic geometry. A website maintained by the organizers can be found here.
• Sunil Chebolu and Keir Lockridge will organize a Special Session on New trends in triangulated categories and their associated cohomology theories.

Please see the AMS web pages for the Sessions for more information.

The 2009 Fall Central Section Meeting of the AMS will be held in Waco, TX, October 16-18, 2009. There will be a Special Session on Commutative Algebra: Module and Ideal Theory organized by Lars W. Christensen, Louiza Fouli and David Jorgensen. For more information on the session, the the AMS website for the session.

The 19th Annual Route 81 Conference on Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2009, hosted by the Mathematics Department of Syracuse University. The conference is organized by Steven P. Diaz, Graham Leuschke, and Claudia Miller.
The deadline to request a speaking slot is Friday, September 11. The schedule will be published shortly thereafter.
