The main objective of is to offer to future and young researchers of distinct branches of mathematics a series of courses at doctorate level on a new field connected to many areas. There will be an introductory course with minimal prerequisites and two courses on recent applications in different areas. The three courses are aimed to be as self-contained as possible in order to make the school attractive to a wide and diverse audience.\nThe target audience is master’s students\, PhD students and postdocs from all areas of mathematics. Senior researchers interested in learning on this new topic are also welcome. The school is based on three courses organized in an exercise-based format (1 hour of lecture + 40 minutes of exercises for each session). We will also give the opportunity to young researchers to present their own work either through a series of short communications or a poster session.\nThe speakers\, TAs and topics of the three courses are:\n– Introduction to tropical geometry\nLecturer: Diane Maclagan (University of Warwick\, UK)\nTAs: Sara Lamboglia (Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität\, Germany) and Marta Panizzut (TU Berlin\, Germany)\n– Introduction to tropical ideals\nLecturer: Felipe Rincón (Queen Mary University of London\, UK)\nTAs: Sara Lamboglia and Marta Panizzut\n– Tropical approach to singular points and its connections to Nagata’s conjecture and linear codes\nLecturer/TA: Nikita Kalinin (National Research University Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg and University of St. Petersburg\, Russia)\nThere will be grants covering accommodation for some of the young participants (master and PhD students\, postdocs). The number of grants will depend on the financial support that we get\, we will try to give as many grants as we can. Candidates will be selected under the supervision of the School’s Scientific Committee and young women will be given priority. Registration and application for a grant will be available soon.\nImportant dates:\n– Submission deadline and grant application: 13th of March\, 2020.\n– Notification of acceptance on contributions and grants: 22th of March\, 2020.\n– Early registration until: 31th of March\, 2020.\nFor more details please visit the School webpage:\nhttp://tropicalschool2020.uva.es/\nOrganizers: Philippe Gimenez and Diego Ruano (IMUVA\, Valladolid).

Moreover\, related classification problems in abelian and triangulated categories are strongly connected with spaces such as Ziegler spectra and prime spectra. We aim to bring together experts and young researchers with an interest in these topics to share their different viewpoints and approaches.\nThe workshop will include five mini lecture series introducing a range of fundamental topics\, and contributed talks. There will also be opportunities for PhD students to present short talks introducing their research topics.

The organizing committee is listed below. Each talk will have two parts: the first part should be accessible to graduate students after a first course in commutative algebra\, and should survey the basic facts and the goals of some area of commutative algebra; the second part will typically cover recent research. \nThe second Seminar in the series: \nDate/Time: Thursday\, April 23\, 1:30-3pm Pacific time \nSpeaker: Mike Stillman\, Cornell University \nTitle: Quadratic Gorenstein rings and the Koszul property \nAbstract: (joint work with Matt Mastroeni and Hal Schenck) \nA graded ring R = S/I is Gorenstein (S = polynomial ring\, I = homogeneous ideal) if the length of its free resolution over S is its codimension in S\, and the top betti number is one. R is called Koszul if the free resolution of k = R/(maximal homogeneous ideal) over R is linear. Any Koszul algebra is defined by quadratic relations\, but the converse is false\, and no one knows a finitely computable criterion. Both types of rings have duality properties\, and occur in many situations in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra\, and in many cases\, a Gorenstein quadratic algebra coming from geometry is often Koszul (e.g. homogeneous coordinate rings of most canonical curves). \nIn 2001\, Conca\, Rossi\, and Valla asked the question: must a (graded) quadratic Gorenstein algebra of regularity 3 be Koszul? \nIn the first 45 minutes\, we will define these notions\, and give examples of quadratic Gorenstein algebras and Koszul algebras. We will give methods for their construction\, e.g. via inverse systems. After a short break\, we will use these techniques to answer negatively the above question\, as well as see how to construct many otherexamples of quadratic Gorenstein algebras which are not Koszul. \nZoom link: https://msri.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RZUNkiShRQS4PVtZa8P9jw \nHow to join: The goal of the seminar is to reach as wide as possible a group of students and faculty interested in commutative algebra\, but some protection is necessary to avoid annoying interference on Zoom. Therefore\, to be on the mailing list of the seminar and receive login information for each webinar\, one must be a member\, vetted by one of the organizers.

Each talk will have two parts: the first part should be accessible to graduate students after a first course in commutative algebra\, and should survey the basic facts and the goals of some area of commutative algebra; the second part will typically cover recent research. \nThe first Seminar in the series: \nDate/Time: Thursday\, April 9\, 1:30-3pm Pacific time \nSpeaker: Linquan Ma\, Purdue University \nTitle: Multiplicities over local rings\, Lech’s conjecture\, and lim Ulrich sequence \nAbstract: We discuss the theory of Hilbert–Samuel multiplicities: their connections with integral closure\, Koszul homology\, and singularities. We then focus on a long standing conjecture of Lech which states that the multiplicities do not drop under faithfully flat extensions of local rings R–>S. We survey the literature of this conjecture and various attempts to attack it. Finally\, we discuss some very recent work that proves Lech’s conjecture when R is standard graded\, using lim Ulrich sequence and weakly lim Ulrich sequence that we introduce. Roughly speaking\, these are sequences of finitely generated modules that are not necessarily Cohen–Macaulay\, but asymptotically behave like Ulrich modules. We show their existence imply Lech’s conjecture\, and we construct weakly lim Ulrich sequence for standard graded rings of positive characteristic. \nHow to join: The goal of the seminar is to reach as wide as possible a group of students and faculty interested in commutative algebra\, but some protection is necessary to avoid annoying interference on Zoom.
