KUMUNU 2007

2007年KUMUNU会议将于9月8日至9日在内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校举行。KUMUNU是由堪萨斯大学(KU)、密苏里-哥伦比亚大学(MU)和内布拉斯加州-林肯大学(NU)主办的一年一度的周末会议，旨在促进地区学校交换代数及其相关学科(如代数几何、表示理论、组合学、K理论和编码理论)的研究人员、博士后和研究生之间的互动。KUMUNU三合会在这些地区拥有强大的力量。KUMUNU会议的传统是在所有层面发挥强大的地区性指导作用，包括研究生、新近的博士和非博士授予机构的教职员工。KUMUNU通过提供一年一度的场所，将这些团体与KU、MU和NU的高级研究人员以及来自该地区以外的一到两名高级研究人员聚集在一起，从而实现了这一点。KUMUNU通过一系列7个简短(45分钟)的演讲来刺激互动，研究生可以观看，演讲者代表了资深研究人员、年轻教师和博士后的不同组合，在演讲之外预留大量时间用于额外的互动。除了科罗拉多州立大学、密歇根州立大学、新墨西哥州立大学、诺特达姆大学、普渡大学、得克萨斯理工大学、德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和华盛顿大学的教职员工和博士后外，其他参与者也来自不同的机构，如本笃学院、密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校、密苏里州立大学、佐治亚州立大学、阿肯色大学和古斯塔夫斯·阿道夫学院。旅行和住宿支持，尤其是对研究生的支持，是昆士兰大学实现其主要目标--展示博士后和年轻教师的研究--的关键因素并帮助交换代数和相关学科的新近博士和研究生通过会见KU、MU、NU和其他地方的经验丰富的研究人员，通过了解交换代数的最新发展，通过彼此交流思想，通过为未来的研究发展合作，来丰富他们的研究项目。

2007 KUMUNU conference to be held at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln, September 8-9. KUMUNU is an annual weekend conference anchoredby the Universities of Kansas (KU), Missouri-Columbia (MU) and Nebraska-Lincoln (NU),promoting interaction among researchers, postdocs and graduate students in commutative algebraand related disciplines (such as algebraic geometry, representation theory, combinatorics, K-theoryand coding theory) at regional schools. The KUMUNU triad has significant strength in these areas. The KUMUNU conference has a tradition of playing a strong regional mentoring role atall levels, including graduate students, recent PhD's and faculty at nonPhD granting institutions.KUMUNU accomplishes this by providing an annual venue bringing these groups together withsenior researchers at KU, MU and NU in addition to one or two senior researchers from outsidethe region. KUMUNU stimulates interaction by having a series of 7 short (45 minute) talks,accessible to graduate students, by speakers representing a diverse mix of senior researchers, youngfaculty and postdocs, with plenty of time reserved outside of talks for additional interaction. Inaddition to faculty and postdocs at KU, MU and NU, speakers in the past have come from ColoradoState University, Kansas State University, Michigan, Michigan State, New Mexico State, NotreDame, Purdue, Texas Tech University, University of Texas-Austin, and Washington University.Other participants have come from such diverse institutions as Benedictine College, University ofMissouri-Kansas City, Missouri State University, Georgia State University, University of Arkansasand Gustavus Adolphus College.Travel and lodging support, especially for graduate students, is a key element for KUMUNUto achieve its main goals of showcasing the research of postdocs and young faculty, and of helpingrecent Ph.D.s and graduate students in commutative algebra and related disciplines enrich theirresearch programs by meeting experienced researchers based at KU, MU, NU and elsewhere, bylearning about recent developments in commutative algebra, by exchanging ideas with one another,and by developing collaborations for future research.
