Big news! There is now a Commutative Algebra section of the arxiv.org preprint server. No longer will we have to use the RA (Rings and Algebras) or AG (Algebraic Geometry) sections. The new code is AC (standing for Algèbre Commutative, or just keeping in mind that AC=CA). We will be updating our FAQ to reflect the change shortly, as well as adding information on how to subscribe to new announcements.

Some selected photos of the Workshop on Homological Methods in Commutative Algebra, May 25-31, 2002, Tehran-Iran, have been posted at the IPM webpage.
