KUMUNU 2012

KUMUNU 2012大会将于2012年9月22日和23日在密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校举行。KUMUNU是一年一度的周末会议，由堪萨斯大学(KU)、密苏里大学(MU)和内布拉斯加大学(NU)主办，重点关注交换代数、代数几何和相关数学领域的当前研究。KUMUNU会议有着强大的传统，在延伸的中西部/大平原地区的四年制大学中，为研究生、新近获得博士学位的学生和职业生涯早期的教师发挥重要的指导作用。KUMUNU为这些团体提供了一年一度的场所，让他们与KU、MU和NU的高级研究人员以及来自一些不太近的机构的两到三名高级研究人员汇聚一堂。KUMUNU通过由知名研究人员就当前研究进行一系列6次演讲和由有望在今年获得博士学位的学生进行3次演讲来刺激互动，在非正式和友好的环境中有充足的时间和机会在演讲之外进行互动。除了来自密歇根大学、密苏里州大学和南加州大学以及来自堪萨斯州、密苏里州和内布拉斯加州的其他机构的教职员工和学生外，KUMUNU还吸引了来自科罗拉多州、伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、密歇根州、俄克拉何马州和北达科他州等邻近州的学员。旅行和住宿支持，特别是对研究生和新近博士的支持，是KUMUNU成功实现其主要目标之一的关键因素，该目标是展示年轻教师的研究，通过经验丰富的研究人员的正式和非正式指导，帮助丰富最近的博士和研究生在交换代数和相关领域的研究计划。此外，KUMUNU还加强了这三个机构的现有优势。会议网址为http://kumunu.missouri.edu，如需进一步信息，还可联系kumunu@misSouri.edu。kumunu会议将为数学家们提供相互交流和建立研究联系的机会；特别是，与会者将从互动中受益，并从该领域的最新发展及其与其他领域的关系中受益。会议的主要影响将是传播关于一个重要主题的最新想法：交换代数和代数几何，并刺激和丰富学生和早期职业参与者的研究生涯。与会者将把会议的想法带给他们的同事和学生，鼓励他们在自己的机构进行进一步的研究和数学丰富。会议的规模相对较小，其地域和学科重点将特别有效，使与会者能够建立富有成效的协作关系。从会议开始的鼓励和指导将极大地促进早期职业数学家的成功和专业发展，无论是在研究机构还是主要在教学机构。

The conference KUMUNU 2012 will be held at the University of Missouri-Columbia on September 22 and 23, 2012. KUMUNU is the annual weekend conference anchored by the University of Kansas (KU), University of Missouri (MU) and University of Nebraska (NU), which focuses on current research in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and related areas of mathematics. The KUMUNU conference has a strong tradition of playing an important mentoring role for graduate students, recent PhD's and early career faculty in four year colleges in the extended midwest/great plains region. KUMUNU provides an annual venue for these groups to come together with senior researchers at KU, MU and NU along with two or three senior researchers from some institutions which are not so near. KUMUNU stimulates interactions by having a series of 6 talks on current research by established researchers and three talks by students expecting their doctorates this year, with ample time and opportunity for interaction outside of talks in an informal and friendly setting. In addition to faculty and students from KU, MU and NU, and other institutions from Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, KUMUNU draws participants from neighboring states such as Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma and North Dakota. Travel and lodging support, especially for graduate students and recent PhD's, is a key element for the success of KUMUNU in achieving one of its main goals of showcasing research of young faculty, helping enrich the research programs of recent PhD's and graduate students in commutative algebra and related fields by both formal and informal mentoring from experienced researchers. In addition, KUMUNU serves to enhance the existing strengths at these three institutions. The conference website is http://kumunu.missouri.edu For further information, one can also contact kumunu@missouri.edu The KUMUNU conference will provide an opportunity for mathematicians to interact and establish research connections with each other; in particular, the participants will benefit from the interaction and from seeing recent developments in the field and its relationships with other areas. The primary impacts of the conference will be its dissemination of recent ideas on an important topic: commutative algebra and algebraic geometry and the stimulation and enrichment of the research careers of the students and early career participants. Participants will take ideas from the conference back to their colleagues and students, stimulating further research and mathematical enrichment at their home institutions. The relatively small size of the meeting and its geographic and disciplinary focus will be particularly effective at enabling participants to establish productive collaborative relationships. Encouragement and mentoring that begins at the conference will significantly contribute to the success and professional development of early career mathematicians whether in research institutions or primarily teaching institutions.
