KUMUNU 2007

2007年KUMUNU会议将于9月8-9日在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校举行。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）主办的年度周末会议，旨在促进地区学校的研究人员、博士后和研究生在交换代数和相关学科（如代数几何、表示理论、组合学、k理论和编码理论）方面的互动。库穆努三合会在这些地区拥有强大的力量。KUMUNU会议的传统是在各个层面上发挥强大的区域指导作用，包括研究生、刚获得博士学位的学生和非博士学位授予机构的教师。KUMUNU通过提供每年一次的会议，将这些小组与堪萨斯大学、MU和NU的高级研究人员以及一到两名来自该地区以外的高级研究人员聚集在一起，实现了这一目标。KUMUNU通过一系列的7个简短（45分钟）的演讲来促进互动，这些演讲面向研究生，演讲者代表着不同的高级研究人员、年轻教师和博士后，在演讲之外预留了大量的时间来进行额外的互动。除了堪萨斯大学、MU和NU的教师和博士后外，过去的演讲者还来自科罗拉多州立大学、堪萨斯州立大学、密歇根州、密歇根州立大学、新墨西哥州大学、圣母大学、普渡大学、德克萨斯理工大学、德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和华盛顿大学。其他参与者来自本尼迪克特学院、密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校、密苏里州立大学、乔治亚州立大学、阿肯色大学和古斯塔夫斯·阿道夫斯学院等不同的机构。旅行和住宿支持，特别是对研究生的支持，是kumunuu实现其主要目标的关键因素，以展示博士后和年轻教师的研究，并帮助交换代数和相关学科的新博士和研究生通过会见来自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，丰富他们的研究项目。通过彼此交流思想，并为未来的研究发展合作。

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.
