The first annual KUMUNU jr will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 21-22, 2012. Inspired by the success of the KUMUNU algebra conferences in the midwest, KUMUNU jr seeks to promote interaction of graduate students and post docs in the area of commutative algebra. This conference is a forum for students and post docs to share their ideas with others and to initiate collaboration. If you would like more information, please see the conference website or contact one of the organizers.

There will be a weekend conference on “Interactions between Commutative Algebra and Representation Theory” in Syracuse, New York, 13–15 April 2012. This conference is partly in honor of Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz’s upcoming 60th birthday. For more information see the web page for the conference.
The organizers expect to have some support (thanks to the NSF) for travel/lodging. Preference will be given to young mathematicians (recent PhDs and advanced graduate students). Please register at the web page.

The Spring Central Section Meeting of the AMS will be held at the University of Kansas, March 30 – April 1, 2012 (Friday – Sunday). This meeting will include at least three special sessions of interest to the commalg community:

• Special Session on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, co-organized by Chris Francisco, Jeff Mermin, and Jay Schweig.
• Special Session on Singularities in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, co-organized by Hailong Dao, Lance E. Miller, and Karl Schwede.
• Special Session on Topics in Commutative Algebra, co-organized by Hailong Dao, Craig Huneke, and Daniel Katz.

update 29 Dec 2011: There is now a local website for the meeting at math.ku.edu/conferences/2012/AMS/. It contains a lot of useful information, for example links to web pages for the individual sessions and things like hotels and restaurants.

A special session on Commutative Algebra and Modules will be organized for the coming Fourth International Conference on Mathematical Sciences (ICM-2012), March 11-14, 2012, at the United Arab Emirates University, Al-Ain, UAE (one hour away by car from Dubai).

For more information see the link http://icm.uaeu.ac.ae.

The conference is sponsored by the AMS. Organizers of this special session are A. Badawi (American University, Sharjah, UAE) and M. Fontana (Universitá “Roma Tre”).
