Southwest Local Algebra Meeting 2018

该奖项支持参加将于2018年2月24-25日在费耶特维尔的阿肯色大学举行的2018年西南局部代数会议。这次会议将鼓励西南地区院校对环论感兴趣的学生和教职员工之间的专业网络和互动。会议将提供一个有效的科学互动环境，这要归功于来自知名专家的鼓舞人心的演讲，用于研究生海报演示的充足时间，以及为与会者开始新的合作和探索新的研究方向的机会。预计将有大约50人参加，包括来自西南部和南部的学生和初级和高级教职员工。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生、妇女、未终身教职的教员和非博士学位授予机构的教员参加。六位专家将就其专业领域内的主题进行长达一小时的演讲；这些讲座将向研究生开放。会议还将包括三个小时的海报会议，参加会议的学生将介绍并与参与者讨论他们的研究。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网页http://www.math.ttu.edu/~lchriste/slam2018.html.从最广泛的意义上讲，环的研究在许多数学分支中都是必不可少的，包括交换和非交换几何、数论、编码论、群表示和密码学。演讲者是微分分次代数、交多重、Rees代数、李理论、有限群和代数群的表示、代数组合学、复杂性理论和同调方法方面的专家。演讲者之间的这种不同兴趣应该为所有参与者之间新的代数互动提供方向，并扩大他们潜在的研究视野。

This award supports the participation in the Southwest Local Algebra Meeting 2018, to be held at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville on February 24-25, 2018. This conference will encourage professional networking and interactions between students and faculty with interests in ring theory, broadly interpreted, from institutions in the Southwest region. The meeting will provide an effective environment for scientific interaction, thanks to inspiring talks from established experts, ample time dedicated to graduate students poster presentations and opportunities for participants to begin new collaborations and exploring new research directions. About 50 participants are expected, including students and both junior and senior faculty from throughout the Southwest and South. The participation of students from underrepresented minority groups, women, untenured faculty and faculty at non-PhD granting institutions is particularly encouraged. Six experts will deliver hour-long talks on topics within their areas of specialty; the lectures will be accessible to graduate students. The meeting will also feature three hour-long poster sessions in which the participating students will present and discuss their research with the participants. More information can be found at the conference webpage http://www.math.ttu.edu/~lchriste/slam2018.html. The study of rings, in the broadest sense, is essential in many branches of mathematics, including commutative and non-commutative geometry, number theory, coding theory, group representations and cryptography. The speakers are specialists in differential graded algebras, intersection multiplicities, Rees algebras, Lie theory, representations of finite and algebraic groups, algebraic combinatorics, complexity theory, homological methods. This variety of interests among our speakers should provide directions for new algebraic interactions between all participants and expand their potential research horizons.
