Connections Between Algebra and Geometry

“代数与几何之间的联系”研讨会将于2012年5月29日至6月1日在加拿大萨斯喀彻温省里贾纳大学举行。工作坊将于2012年6月2日至4日在同一地点举行加拿大数学学会(CMS)夏季会议之前举行。本工作坊将向学员介绍当前代数与几何交叉领域的研究课题。研讨会将包括三门课程(微分分次交换代数；割变数；脂肪点和符号幂)，面向研究生和新近的博士S，这将为2012年CMS夏季会议组织的特别会议的参与者做部分准备，并将创造长期的合作。旅行和住宿支持，以促进参与，特别是对研究生和新近获得博士学位的S来说，是研讨会成功的关键因素。这个工作坊的主要目的是帮助该领域的参与者：与代数和几何领域的领先研究人员互动；了解这些领域的最新发展；相互交流想法；并为未来的研究与加拿大和美国的其他数学家发展合作。此外，我们计划与更广泛的数学界分享课程信息和在研讨会期间取得的进展。工作坊的每一天将由三门课程的讲座和相关问题部分组成。此外，在会谈之外，还将有足够的时间进行额外的互动。研讨会将为研究生、新近获得博士学位的S和知名研究人员提供一个集中的场所，以丰富他们在各学科不同方面的背景，了解最近的发展，并与其他研究人员建立联系。除了刺激和丰富学生和早期职业参与者的研究生涯外，来自非博士授予机构的参与者将把会议的想法带给他们的同事和学生，刺激他们在自己的机构进一步研究和丰富数学知识。研讨会的详细情况可在会议网页上找到：http://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~ssatherw/Regina2012/index.html.

The workshop "Connections Between Algebra and Geometry" will be held at the University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, May 29 - June 1, 2012. The workshop will be held immediately before the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) Summer Meeting June 2 - 4, 2012, at the same site. This workshop will introduce participants to current research topics in the intersection of Algebra and Geometry. The workshop will consist of three courses (Differential Graded Commutative Algebra; Secant Varieties; Fat Points and Symbolic Powers) for graduate students and recent Ph.D.?s that will partially prepare participants for one of the special sessions being organized at the 2012 CMS Summer Meeting and will create long-lasting collaborations. Travel and lodging support to facilitate participation, especially for graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s, is a key element for the success of the workshop. The main goals of this workshop are to help participants in the field to: interact with leading researchers in Algebra and Geometry; learn about recent developments in these fields; exchange ideas with one another; and develop collaborations with other mathematicians in Canada and the U.S.A. for future research. In addition, we plan to share the course information and progress made during the workshop with the broader mathematical community. Each day of the workshop will consist of a lecture and related problem session for each of the three courses. In addition, there will be plenty of time reserved outside of talks for additional interaction. The workshop will provide a focused venue for graduate students, recent Ph.D.'s, and established researchers to enrich their background on diverse aspects of the disciplines, to learn about recent developments, and to establish connections with other researchers. In addition to the stimulation and enrichment of the research careers of the students and early career participants, participants from non-Ph.D. granting institutions will take ideas from the conference back to their colleagues and students, stimulating further research and mathematical enrichment at their home institutions.
