The Institute of Mathematics, Hanoi, Vietnam, and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, are organizing an International School and Workshop on Polynomial Automorphisms and Related Topics from October 9 to October 20, 2006, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The aim of the conference is to introduce mathematicians from Asian developing countries to recent developments in the field of Polynomial Automorphisms and its related topics in Commutative Algebra and Affine Geometry and to promote the collaboration between mathematicians from different developing and developed countries in this field.
The main topics include polynomial automorphisms, the Jacobian Conjecture and related topics, topology of polynomials and global diffeomorphisms.
The scientific program will consist of an Advanced School October 9 – 13, with 5 instructional courses for graduate students and young mathematicians from Asian developing countries, and an International Conference October 14 – 20, on recent developments in the field.
For more information, including an application form, please see the conference web page at ICTP.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of Bucharest University, the Institute of Mathematics “Simion Stoilow” of the Romanian Academy, the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, “Ovidius” University of Constanta, and the Romanian Mathematical Society are organizing the 15th edition of the School on Algebra, September 25–30, 2006, in Constanta. The topic of the School is “Toric Algebra”. The lectures are based on the book Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, by E. Miller and B. Sturmfels, and will be completed by problem sessions, computer demos, and discussions.

A School and Workshop on Vector bundles and low-codimensional subvarieties will be held in Trento, Italy, during September 11-16, 2006. The main lectures of the School will be given by Ph. Ellia (Università di Ferrara, It) and R.M. Mirò-Roig (Universitat de Barcelona, Sp), with supporting lectures by L. Costa (Universitat de Barcelona, Sp). The School is mainly aimed at Phd students and young researchers in Algebraic Geometry, introducing the participants to research, beginning from a basic level with a view towards the applications and to the most recent results. The Workshop is intended to discuss the state of the art. For more information, see the web page for the school/workshop.
