Nebraska Commutative Algebra Conference

这是一个支持2005年5月7日至9日在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校（UNL）举行的为期三天的交换代数会议的项目。这次会议的主要目标将是帮助最近的博士和研究生在该领域，以满足有经验的研究人员，了解最近的发展交换代数，相互交流思想，并发展合作，为未来的研究。主要的主题是表示论、同调代数、计算代数和与交换代数相互作用的理想理论。将邀请演讲者讨论这些主题之间的联系。我们主要为目标群体的参与者寻求支持：那些新近获得博士学位的人，研究生或女性，以及来自代表性不足的群体或主要教学机构的教师。大部分的会谈将访问研究生和将展示在学科的主要问题和技术。在过去的十五年中，交换代数，活动已迅速改变了该领域的激烈和突破性的活动。与代数几何、编码理论、组合学、同伦理论、K理论和表示理论等领域的研究人员也有广泛的互动。拟议的聚会将为algebraists提供一个互动和建立相互研究联系的机会;特别是目标参与者将从互动中受益，并从看到该领域的最新发展及其与其他领域的关系中受益。

This is a project to support a three-day commutative algebra conference at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), May 7-9, 2005. The main goals of this conference will be to help recentPh.D.s and graduate students in the field to meet experienced researchers, to learnabout recent developments in commutative algebra, to exchange ideas with one another,and to develop collaborations for future research. The primary topics will be aspectsof representation theory, homological algebra, computational algebra and ideal theorythat interact with commutative algebra. Speakers will be invited to discuss connectionsamong these topics. We seek support primarily for a target group of participants: those who are recentPh.D.s, graduate students or women, as well as faculty from under-represented groups orprimarily teaching institutions. Most of the talks will be accessible to graduate studentsand will demonstrate the main problems and techniques in the discipline.Over the last fifteen years there has been intense and ground-breaking activity in commutative algebra, activity which has been rapidly transformingthe field. There is also extensive interaction with researchers in areas as diverse asalgebraic geometry, coding theory, combinatorics, homotopy theory, K-theory, and rep-resentation theory. The proposed gathering will provide an opportunity for algebraiststo interact and establish research connections with each other; in particular the targetedparticipants will benefit from the interaction and from seeing recent developments in thefield and its relationships with other areas.
