UNION COLLEGE MATHEMATICS CONFERENCE
Schenectady, New York
Saturday and Sunday
October 19 – October 20, 2013
This is a preliminary announcement for the fourteenth Union College Mathematics Conference. This year the conference topics are algebraic topology, category theory, commutative algebra, differential geometry, and statistics.
In addition to invited lectures, there will also be shorter contributed talks in parallel sessions. Anyone interested in giving such a talk should contact one of the organizers.
The meeting will begin with an evening reception on Friday, October 18, and end on Sunday afternoon. More information will be available at the Union College Mathematics Department website (www.math.union.edu) in June.
Union College is centrally located in New York’s capital district about 10 miles from the Albany International Airport, easily accessible by train from NYC, and just 3 to 4 hours by car from NYC, Boston, and Montreal.
We hope to see you here in the fall!

The 23rd annual Route 81 Conference on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry will be held Saturday, October 19, 2013, at Syracuse University.
If you would like to give a talk, contact the organizers and also send a title and short abstract.
There is no formal registration process, but it would be helpful if you would let one of the organizers know if you plan to attend, and whether you will be in town Friday night for dinner, so we can estimate attendance.
For more information please see the web page for the conference.
Organizers:
— Steven P. Diaz (spdiaz@syr.edu)
— Graham Leuschke (gjleusch@math.syr.edu)
— Claudia Miller (clamille@syr.edu)

There will be a mini-workshop on “Limits in characterstic p” in Lincoln, Nebraska on Oct 19-21, 2013.
The workshop is partially sponsored by NSF and the University of Nebraska, and will focus on a recently emerging theme: the existence of certain limits defined over rings of positive characteristics. Some examples are F-splitting numbers and higher Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities. A number of interesting applications and connections to other topics will be discussed: rational singularity in chracteristic p, depth of cyclic covers, annihilators of local cohomology.
For more information, see the web page for the workshop.

The Fall Central Sectional Meeting of the AMS will be held at Washington University, St. Louis, MO October 18-20, 2013 (Friday – Sunday). This meeting will include a Special Session on Commutative Algebra co-organized by Lianna Sega, University of Missouri, Kansas City and Hema Srinivasan, University of Missouri, Columbia.

The Fall Eastern Sectional Meeting will be held at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, October 12-13, 2013 (Saturday – Sunday). This meeting will include several special sessions of potential interest to commalgists, including the following:

• Special Session on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra co-organized by Tai Huy Ha, Tulane University and Fabrizio Zanello, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michigan Technological University
• Special Session on The Geometry of Algebraic Varieties co-organized by Karl Schwede, Pennsylvania State University and Zsolt Patakfalvi, Princeton University.

The Fall Southeastern Sectional Meeting of the AMS will be held at the University of Louisville, October 5-6, 2013 (Saturday – Sunday). This meeting will contain at least three special sessions that may be of interest to commalgists:

• Special Session on Commutative Rings, Ideals, and Modules, co-organized by Ela Celikbas and Olgur Celikbas, University of Missouri-Columbia
• Special Session on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, co-organized by Juan Migliore, University of Notre Dame and Uwe Nagel, University of Kentucky
• Special Session on Recent Advances on Commutative Algebra and Its Applications, co-organized by Hamid Kulosman, University of Louisville, Jinjia Li, University of Louisville, and Hamid Rahmati, Miami University.

Interactions between Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry II
September 28-29, 2013
Tulane University, New Orleans, USA.
The goal of this conference is to outline various aspects of the strong interplay between Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. The conference will be of relatively small size, bringing experts, young researchers, recent PhD’s and graduate students in these research areas together to generate research discussion and to foster research collaboration between its participants.
Speakers: The following people have agreed to speak at our conference.
Susan Cooper, Central Michigan University.
Chris Francisco, Oklahoma State University.
Juan Migliore, Notre Dame University.
Uwe Nagel, University of Kentucky.
Alexandra Seceleanu, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Zach Teitler, Boise State University.
Thanh Vu, University of California at Berkeley.
Adam Van Tuyl, Lakehead University.

The 2013 KUMUNU conference will be held September 21-22, 2013 at the University of Missouri. More information can be found at the conference website.

The 21st edition of the Romanian National School on Algebra will take place in Bucharest, Romania, September 2-6. The topic of this year’s school is “Algebraic Methods in Combinatorics”.
The school aims at introducing students and young researchers to new areas of research in combinatorial commutative algebra. It is organized by Institute of Mathematics “Simion Stoilow” of the Romanian Academy (Bucharest) and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bucharest University, in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Ovidius University, Constanta.
Topics include: an overview of Stanley-Reisner theory, combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements, the use of exterior algebra methods, binomial edge ideals, monomial ideals with extra combinatorial structure.
Details about the program and registration are available at the school’s webpage.
