Registration closes April 1st. For a 20 minute talk please register (with an abstract) by April 1st too.
Dates: April 23-24, 2016
Location: University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Website: http://www.math.unl.edu/~ecanton2/KUMUNUjr/2016/
Confirmed Speakers (as of 2-21-16):
-Alessandro De Stefani, University of Virginia
-Patricia Klein, University of Michigan
-Jason Lutz, University of Nebraska – Lincoln
-Tony Se, University of Kansas
-William Taylor, University of Arkansas
KUMUNUjr provides an opportunity for young mathematicians studying commutative algebra in the Midwest to share their research and expertise with one another. Our discipline is an active one, with connections to algebraic geometry, cluster algebras, combinatorics, homological algebra, representation theory, statistics, and other areas. Furthermore, midwestern commutative algebra research continues to reflect the activity and diversity of the commutative algebra research community. We anticipate funding through the NSF to partially cover travel and lodging expenses. Feel free to contact any of the organizers with questions.

SM'ART (Seminar on Matroids in Algebra, Representation theory and Topology), Switzerland

The 2016 edition of the Swiss doctoral program’s Borel seminar will focus on recent major progresses arising from the interaction of matroid theory with topology, (tropical) geometry and representation theory. It will take place

January 24-29, 2016, in Les Diablerets, Switzerland.

Please find below a list of minicourses, and refer to the webpage

http://www.combinatorialmethods.ch/sm-art/

for further (and updated) information.

The seminar’s venue has a limited capacity, thus we ask for applications from interested participants to be sent to the e-mail address borel2016@unifr.ch before October 2nd, 2015 and according to the guidelines posted on the seminar’s webpage.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any queries about the seminar, and feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think could be interested.

We look forward to a vibrant and interesting week in Les Diablerets.
