Southwest Local Algebra Meeting 2018

该奖项支持参加2018年西南地方代数会议，该会议将于2018年2月24日至25日在费耶特维尔的阿肯色大学举行。本次会议将鼓励来自西南地区机构的对环理论感兴趣的学生和教师之间的专业网络和互动。会议将为科学互动提供一个有效的环境，感谢来自知名专家的鼓舞人心的演讲，研究生有充足的时间用于海报展示，与会者有机会开始新的合作和探索新的研究方向。预计约有50名参与者，包括来自西南和南部的学生和初级和高级教师。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生、妇女、非终身教职人员和非博士学位授予机构的教职人员的参与。六名专家将就各自专业领域内的主题发表长达一小时的演讲；这些讲座将对研究生开放。会议还将以三个小时的海报会议为特色，参加会议的学生将与与会者介绍和讨论他们的研究。更多信息可在会议网页http://www.math.ttu.edu/~lchriste/slam2018.html上找到。从广义上讲，环的研究在数学的许多分支中都是必不可少的，包括交换几何和非交换几何、数论、编码理论、群表示和密码学。演讲者是微分梯度代数、交多重、Rees代数、李论、有限代数群的表示、代数组合、复杂性理论、同调方法等方面的专家。我们的演讲者之间的各种兴趣应该为所有参与者之间的新代数互动提供方向，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.
