The seventh annual “Combinatorial Algebra meets Algebraic Combinatorics” meeting will be held at Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada, January 22 – 24, 2010. The organizers are

• Francois Bergeron (UQAM, Montreal)
• Sara Faridi (Dalhousie University)
• Tony Geramita (Queen’s University and University of Genoa)
• Mike Roth (Queen’s University)

This meeting is a continuation of previous annual workshops focusing on the interplay between commutative algebra (particularly, resolutions and inverse systems) and algebraic combinatorics (the representation theory of symmetric groups). Invited speakers include:

• Nantel Bergeron (York University, Toronto)
• Mats Boij (KTH, Stockholm)
• Jennifer Morse (Drexel University, Philadelphia)
• Christophe Reutenauer (UQAM, Montreal)

Contributed talks are welcome.
Some funds are available to assist students and postdocs with travel costs.
Send inquiries to Sara Faridi (faridi AT mathstat.dal.ca).
For more information, see the meeting website.

The 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings will be held in San Francisco, January 13-16, 2010. Susan Cooper, Graham Leuschke and Sean Sather-Wagstaff are organizing a Special Session on Commutative Algebra.
update: There is now a web page for the Special Session.
Check back for more information about this and other special sessions of interest to the commalg community.

Conference Mathematics-Algorithms-Proofs: Formalization of Mathematics, Monastir (Tunisia)
14th to 18th of December 2009
Organization Committee: Thierry Coquand (Göteborg), Henri Lombardi (Besançon), Marie-Françoise Roy (Rennes), Ihsen Yengui (Sfax)
This conference enters in the scope of the activities of the group “Mathematics-Algorithms-Proofs ” which was created in January 2003. The MAP group intends to gather people with connected topics of interest, such as constructive algebra, computer algebra, designers and users of proof systems (see MAP’s web page: http://map.disi.unige.it). The main theme of the conference will be about the formalization of mathematics. The timeliness of this theme is attested by the publication of a special issue of the AMS Notices on this topic (see http://www.ams.org/notices/200811).
The temporary list of tutorials is :
Formalism of Finite Groups Theory (G. Gonthier)
Formalism of Algebraic Topology (J. Rubio)
Besides 30 min or 45 min research talks, there will be tutorial talks.

The 6th Seminar on Commutative Algebra and Related Topics will be held on November 25-26, 2009 at the School of Mathematics of IPM in Tehran, Iran.
For more information, see the seminar webpage.

There will be (at least) three Special Sessions of interest to commutative algebraists at the Western Section Meeting of the AMS in Riverside, CA, November 7-8, 2009:

• John Baez and Julie Bergner will organize a Special Session on Homotopy Theory and Higher Algebraic Structures.
• Ken Goodearl, Dan Rogalski, and James Zhang will organize a Special Session on Interactions Between Algebraic Geometry and Noncommutative Algebra.
• Frauke Bleher, Birge Huisgen-Zimmerman, and Markus Schmidmeier will organize a Special Session on Representations of Finite Dimensional Algebras.

Please see the AMS web pages for the Sessions for more information.

The 2009 Fall Southeastern AMS Meeting will be held in Boca Raton, FL, October 30 – November 1, 2009. There will be at least two three special sessions of interest to the commalg community at this meeting:

• Special Session on Commutative Ring Theory, organized by Alan Loper and Lee Klingler. See the AMS website for this session for more information.
• Special Session on Homological Aspects of Module Theory, organized by Andy Kustin, Sean Sather-Wagstaff, and Janet Vassilev. See the webpage maintained by the organizers or the AMS website for the session for more information.
• Special Session on Graded Resolutions, organized by Chris Francisco and Irena Peeva. See the AMS website for the session for more information.

There will be a workshop, sponsored by AIM, October 26 to October 30, 2009, devoted to developing the following three packages for Macaulay 2.

1. Algebraic statistics
2. Numerical algebraic geometry
3. Toric algebraic geometry

These three topics are all very active areas of research in computational algebra and algebraic geometry and are linked in surprising ways which lends them nicely to be the three packages of focus for this workshop.
For more information on the packages, the goals of the workshop and the application to attend, please go to the workshop web page.

There will be (at least) three Special Sessions of interest to commutative algebraists at the 2009 Fall Eastern Section Meeting of the AMS in University Park, PA, October 24-25, 2009:

• Amanda Beecher and Alex Tchernev will organize a Special Session on Combinatorial and Homological Aspects of Commutative Algebra.
• Janet Striuli and Jooyoun Hong will organize a Special Session on Commutative Algebra and applications to Algebraic geometry. A website maintained by the organizers can be found here.
• Sunil Chebolu and Keir Lockridge will organize a Special Session on New trends in triangulated categories and their associated cohomology theories.

Please see the AMS web pages for the Sessions for more information.

The 2009 Fall Central Section Meeting of the AMS will be held in Waco, TX, October 16-18, 2009. There will be a Special Session on Commutative Algebra: Module and Ideal Theory organized by Lars W. Christensen, Louiza Fouli and David Jorgensen. For more information on the session, the the AMS website for the session.
