Georgia State University and the University of South Carolina will be organizing a joint Seminar in Commutative Algebra on April 14, 2007 in Columbia, SC. This is the sequel to the meeting that took place in Atlanta in March.
The seminar represents a collaborative effort of commutative algebraists at the two universities to increase exposure of their research area in the South-East through periodic meetings. Everyone interested is welcome to attend.
The seminar will meet on Saturday April 14, 2007 (10am-5pm).
Invited Speakers:

• Shemsi Alhaddad, University of South Carolina, Lancaster
• Alina Iacob, University of North Carolina, Wilmington
• Florian Enescu, Georgia State University
• Yongwei Yao, Georgia State University
• Hamid Rahmati, University of Nebraska, Lincoln

Organizers: Andy Kustin (email: kustin@math.sc.edu) and Adela Vraciu(email: vraciu@math.sc.edu).

There will be a special session in Commutative Algebra at the School of Mathematics in IPM on Jan. 10-11, 2007. The goal of this session is to bring together many of the people in Iran who are working in Commutative Algebra and related areas, to introduce students and young researchers the topics of recent research.
The session is organized by Hasan Haghighi and Siamak Yassemi. For more information, see the IPM web page for the Seminar.

Several AMS Special Sessions are being organized at the Joint Mathematics Meetings, New Orleans, LA, January 5-8, 2007, including the following.
Paul C. Roberts, Anurag K. Singh, and Oana Veliche are organizing a Special Session on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry.
Mara D. Neusel and Frank D. Grosshans are organizing a Special Session on Invariant Theory.

Integral Closure, Multiplier Ideals and Cores
December 17 to December 21, 2006
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA
Organizers:
Alberto Corso, Claudia Polini, and Bernd Ulrich
Workshop topics:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to questions related to the notion of integral closure of ideals. Specific aspects of the workshop focus are: computation of the integral closure and its complexity; multiplicities and equisingularity theory; cores of ideals and Briancon-Skoda type theorems; multiplier ideals and test ideals; and multiplier ideals and jet schemes.
Application deadline:
September 1, 2006
