MULTIPLIER IDEALS, TEST IDEALS AND BERNSTEIN-SATO POLYNOMIALS
BARCELONA, September 7-10, 2015
This meeting is mainly intended for graduate students and postdocs working on algebraic geometry, singularities or commutative algebra. It will focus on the theory of Multiplier ideals, Test ideals and Bernstein-Sato polynomials with special regard to the interplay between them.
There will be three mini-courses given by experts on the topics of the workshop. Moreover we plan on having some talks given by participants that are developing their research in this area.
Mini-Courses:
·Nero Budur (KU Leuven): Bernstein-Sato polynomials
·Karl Schwede (U. Utah): Test Ideals
·Kevin Tucker (UIC): Multiplier Ideals

The next Young Researchers Conference of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society, 3CJI, will take place in the University of Murcia in September 7 – 11, 2015.
The meeting will include one parallel session on Algebra (organized by Elias Baro and Gemma Colomé) and another one revolving around Algebraic Geometry and Singularities (organized by Miguel Marco and Víctor González Alonso).
For more information, see the web site for the Conference.

The Fields Institute in Toronto, Ontario, will host a semester-long Thematic Program in Computer Algebra in Fall 2015.
The thematic program focuses on current and emerging areas of importance in computer algebra: symbolic linear algebra, algorithms for algebraic and semi-algebraic geometry, hybrid symbolic-numeric computing, algorithms for differential algebra and symbolic combinatorics, and the area of computer-enhanced mathematical collaboration and certified algorithms.
The December workshop on Algebra, Geometry, and Symbolic Proofs may be of particular interest to commalg.org readers.
More information will be available on the webpage for the program.
