Google Celebrates Emmy Noether

In case you missed it, Google posted a doodle celebrating the 133rd Birthday of Emmy Noether.  It goes without saying that Emmy Noether played a prominent role in google-doodlethe development of commutative algebra, as well as other fields of mathematics. This being the case, we would like to join Google in saying happy birthday to Emmy. More information about the Doodle can be found in the following link:

Lawrence 2015

There will be a workshop “Commutative Algebra and related topics” at University of Kansas, Lawrence on the weekend of March 21-22. There will be 6-7 one-hour talks by young speakers on some very fresh results in a diverse array of topics: regularity of ideals and combinatorics, local cohomology in characteristic 0 and p, Hochster’s invariant and topological K-theory.
The talks will be on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, with possibly two informal discussion sessions on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.
Details on speakers, titles and abstracts can be found here: http://www.math.ku.edu/~hdao/Algebra2015
There might only be a very limited amount of funding available for lodging for graduate students. Please email hdao@ku.edu if you are interested.
