AMS Sectional, Orlando

There will be a Special Session on Commutative Algebra: Interactions with Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Topology at the Southeastern Sectional Meeting University of Central Florida, Orlando, Orlando, FL September 23-24, 2017. The organizers are Joseph Brennan (Central Florida), Alina Iacob (Georgia Southern), and Saeed Nasseh (Georgia Southern).

CA+, Minnesota

CA+ is a mini-conference hosted jointly by Minnesota and Wisconsin. We highlight work in commutative algebra and related fields like algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and more. We have colloquium-style talks targeted at a broad audience of people interested in algebra.

This year’s meeting is September 22-23 at University of Minnesota. We will have 6 talks, starting on the afternoon of Friday, Sept 22 and going through Saturday, Sept 23. We also have targeted small group conversations related to research and/or professional development. This year’s speakers are Lauren Williams (Berkeley), Emily Witt (Kansas), Jay Yang (Wisconsin), Alexander Yong (UIUC), and two more to be confirmed.

See our webpage:

where you’ll find the schedule and information about registration.

In past years we’ve had NSF funding, and if this continues, we plan to fund a number graduate students and postdocs. So if you’re interested in attending please fill out the registration ASAP!

Inviting submissions for a special Issue on Commutative algebra

In recognition of the excitement of the July 2017 workshop “The Prospects for Commutative Algebra” (http://commalg2017.jp), the journal Acta Mathematical Vietnamica (https://link.springer.com/journal/40306) has agreed to have a special issue devoted to commutative algebra, to be published in January 2019. We —

  • Dale Cutkosky 
  • David Eisenbud
  • Shiro Goto
  • Jürgen Herzog
  • Takayuki Hibi
  • Ngô Việt Trung

— will serve as the editorial committee for the issue. We hope to make it an important document showing some of the best current research in the field, and we invite submissions.
Feel free to write to us with any questions. The deadline for final versions of the papers is September 2018, so we must ask for submissions by March 2018 at the latest.
Best regards,
Dale, David, Jürgen, Shiro, Takayuki, Trung

AMS Sectional, Denton TX

There will be a Special Session on Commutative Algebra at the Fall Central Sectional Meeting of the AMS, September 9-10, 2017. The organizers of the session are Jonathan Montano (U. Kansas) and Alessio Sammartano (Purdue U.).
update 15 May: There will also be a Special Session on “Homological Methods in Commutative Algebra” at the Denton meeting, organized by Peder Thompson (Texas Tech) and Ashley Wheeler (U. Arkansas).

25th National School on Algebra, Bucharest

The Research Institute of the University of Bucharest, the Institute of Mathematics “Simion Stoilow” of the Romanian Academy, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bucharest, and The Romanian Mathematical Society will organize the 25th National School on Algebra, September 4 – September 8, 2017, Bucharest, Romania.
There will be three main courses on syzygies, generic initial ideals, repectively modular invariant theory, each consisting of three one-hour lectures and one tutorial delivered by Marian Aprodu (IMAR & University of Bucharest, Romania), Enrico Sbarra (Universita degli Studi di Pisa, Italy) and Mufit Sezer (Bilkent University, Turkey). Apart from these courses there will also be contributed talks of the participants. Details of this conference can be found at the web page for the conference.
