Macaulay2 Workshop, Warwick, UK

Below is a letter from the organizers of the workshop:
Dear all,
We are organizing a Macaulay2 workshop, from Monday 23 May to Thursday
26 May 2016 with Sunday 22 May and Friday 27 May serving as travel
days. Activities will start first thing Monday morning. The workshop
will be at the University of Warwick, UK. This is the second European
Macaulay2 workshop.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring Macaulay2 developers together
with those who would like to share or develop their skills at writing
packages for Macaulay2 and those interested in developing the
corresponding mathematical algorithms. We are interested in
participants with a broad range of experience with Macaulay2, from
very experienced to novices. The novices will have the opportunity to
learn about Macaulay2 from the more experienced participants.
Some examples of projects from past workshops can be viewed by looking
through the Macaulay2 wiki pages for past workshops (see
http://wiki.macaulay2.com/Macaulay2/index.php?title=Macaulay2_Wiki).
There is ongoing work on many of the packages described there, and we
hope that a few teams will propose new projects and work on them at
this workshop as well.
Support is available from the Macaulay2 NSF grant for a small number
of US based people with experience with M2. We also have some local
funding that can provide partial support for participants. If you
would like to attend, please apply as soon as possible at the
following webpage: http://goo.gl/forms/nx1ZoWHHXE
and also register at the Warwick MRC page:
http://web.warwick.ac.uk/mrc/events.php
Your application should include:
1. information about what projects/algorithms you would like to work
on, and what you have done in the past. (This is the most important
piece — please put some thought into this and be as specific as
possible),
2. whether you would require financial support for travel expenses,
and if you will be willing to share a room.
3. your current institution and rank, and if you are a PhD
student, your supervisor’s name.
Applications are due by 1 April, 2016. We plan to allocate local funds
to participants shortly thereafter.
Best,
Thomas Kahle and Diane Maclagan (the organizers)

Midwest Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry Conference: A Meeting in Honor of Juan Migliore

The conference will be held on the occasion of Juan Migliore’s 60th birthday and will take place at the University of Notre Dame from May 16 to May 19, 2016. We plan to start the talks in the morning of Monday, May 16, and finish Thursday afternoon, May 19.
This meeting is in the tradition of Midwest Algebra and Geometry Conferences. The topics of the conference are recent advances in Commutative Algebra and its intersection with Algebraic Geometry, with particular emphasis on liaison theory, combinatorial commutative algebra, Hilbert functions, free resolutions, characteristic p methods, multiplicity theory, multiplier ideals, and local cohomology.
There will be a poster session to give junior mathematicians and graduate students an opportunity to present their work. Junior mathematicians and graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate in the conference, as well as mathematicians from traditionally underrepresented groups and faculty of undergraduate institutions.
Further and updated information is available on the webpage
http://www3.nd.edu/~conf/mcaag/
The deadline for applying for funding is March 1, 2016.
The organizers of the conference are:
Uwe Nagel
Claudia Polini
Bernd Ulrich

Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology

The Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology (GSCAGT) is coming up on May 14-15, 2016 at Temple University (Philadelphia).  For more information see the website:

https://math.temple.edu/events/gscagt/

This year’s (very excellent!) plenary speakers are:

  • Zajj Daugherty (City College of New York)
  • Jordan Ellenberg (University of Wisconsin)
  • Elisenda Grigsby (Boston College)
  • Alan Reid (University of Texas at Austin)

and there will be a host of interesting talks from students.

If you and/ or your student(s) are interesting in attending, the registration deadline is April 5th (this will be extended from old March 25th deadline).

HoMAS 2016, Georgia Southern

Georgia Southern University will host a conference on Homological Methods in Algebraic Structures, in May 2016 (May 13-14). The aim is to cover recent developments and applications of the homological methods in areas such as Commutative and Non commutative Algebra, Model Category Theory, Algebraic Geometry.
