HH^4, the fourth conference on Hochschild (Co-)Homology
August 12-16, 2013 – Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Universidad de Buenos
Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The conference “HH^4 Conference on Hochschild Cohomology” will be held in
the campus of Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Universidad de Buenos Aires,
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 12–16th. The conference will be the
fourth of a series including Leicester 2003, Banff 2007 and Luminy 2010.It
will give an opportunity for interactions among mathematicians from
different fields who use or explore Hochschild cohomology. Participants
will have the chance to get new insights into known results, explain
questions pertinent to their area to nonspecialists, to consult with
experts from other areas, and so prepare the ground for the transfer of
ideas and new discoveries that would be difficult to obtain in isolation.
It will feature talks by:

• Yang Han
• Ibrahim Assem
• Dag Madsen
• Julia Pevtsova
• Rachel Taillefer
• Eduardo Marcos
• Estanislao Herscovich
• Gilles Halbout
• Mariano Suarez-Alvarez
• Guillermo Cortiñas
• Luchezar Avramov
• Sarah Witherspoon
• Max Karoubi
• Thierry Lambre

Scientific committee:

• Petter Andreas Bergh
• Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz
• Maria Julia Redondo
• Nicole Snashall
• Andrea Solotar

Local organizing committee:

• Sergio Chouhy
• Estanislao Herscovich
• Mariano Suárez-Alvarez
• Quimey Vivas
• Pablo Zadunaisky

The aim of this concluding conference “Combinatorial Structures in Algebra and Topology” of the post graduate programme “Combinatorical Structures in Algebra and Topology” is to celebrate the work within this programme in the last years.
There will be lectures of internationally renowned speakers and former members of the post graduate programme to discuss recent results in the area of algebra, combinatorics and topology.
Invited Speakers:

• Morten Brun (University of Bergen)
• Graham Denham (University of Western Ontario)
• Neil Epstein (George Mason University)

EACA’S Second International School On Computer Algebra and Applications
http://monica.unirioja.es/web_2EACA/index.html
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
The Second EACA International School on Computer Algebra and its Applications will take place at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Valladolid (Spain) on June 24th-28th, 2013.
It is an activity of the Spanish network Red-EACA, Red Temática de Cálculo Simbólico, Álgebra Computacional y Aplicaciones.
The speakers and topics of the three courses are:
– Aldo Conca (Università degli Studi di Genova, Italy): Bounds on Syzygies.
– Irena Swanson (Reed College, USA): Primary decomposition and algorithms. Applications to algebraic statistics.
– Volkmar Welker (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany): Combinatorics and Algebra of geometric subdivision operations on simplicial complexes
There will be grants covering local expenses for young researchers. Candidates will be selected under the supervision of the School’s Scientific Committee. Young participants will also have the opportunity to give a short contributed talk on their on-going work. The School also welcomes experienced researchers interested in these topics.
Important dates:
– Abstract submission and grant application deadline: April 8th, 2013
– Notification of acceptance on contributions and grants: April 19th, 2013.
– Early registration until April 30st, 2013.

A summer school on Algebraic Statistics will be held 17-21 June, in Nordfjordeid, Norway. More information is available at the following website.

The eighth International School on Computer Algebra: COCOA 2013 will take place on 10-14th June 2013 at Institut für Mathematik of Universität Osnabrück (Germany). The school will be held the week after MEGA 2013 (3-7th June, Frankfurt am Main, Germany).
there will be two intensive courses with CoCoA tutorials:

There will be a workshop “Syzygies in Berlin” from May 27 to May 31, 2013. The workshop will bring together mathematicians ranging from graduate students to senior experts to study classical results and open problems surrounding syzygies, free resolutions and regularity.

The Commutative Algebra of Singularities in Birational Geometry: Multiplier Ideals, Jets, Valuations, and Positive Characteristic Methods
May 6, 2013 to May 10, 2013
The workshop will examine the interplay between measures of singularities coming both from characteristic p methods of commutative algebra, and invariants of singularities coming from birational algebraic geometry. There is a long history of this interaction which arises via the “reduction to characteristic p” procedure. It is only in the last few years, however, that very concrete objects from both areas, namely generalized test ideals from commutative algebra and multiplier ideals from birational geometry, have been shown to be intimately connected. This workshop will explore this connection, as well as other topics used to study singularities such as jets schemes and valuations.
Organizer(s)
Craig Huneke* (Kansas University), Yujiro Kawamata (University of Tokyo), Mircea Mustata (University of Michigan), Karen Smith (University of Michigan), Kei-ichi Watanabe (Nihon University)
