Conference in Commutative Algebra

该奖项支持参加交换代数会议KUMUNU 2018，该会议将于2018年10月13日至14日在堪萨斯大学劳伦斯分校举行。KUMUNU（以其最初的参与机构命名：堪萨斯大学、密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校和内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校）是大平原地区交换代数学者的年度会议（自1999年以来举行）。KUMUNU 2018的主要目标是扩大会议的地理范围，促进交换代数与相关领域之间的联系，并展示早期职业数学家的研究。为了促进交换代数与其他领域之间的联系，本书还包括了一些专家关于热带几何、凸几何和优化的演讲。会议还将包括初级研究人员的海报会议。KUMUNU的总体目标是提供一个分享前沿数学研究的环境，促进大平原地区或驾车距离内的代数学者之间的合作。KUMUNU 2018旨在通过研究讲座传播新的创新成果和技术来推动数学的发展。这些讲座旨在激励参与的数学家并促进合作。特邀演讲嘉宾：David Eisenbud（加州大学）、Raymond Heitmann（德克萨斯大学）、Siamak Yassemi（德黑兰大学）、Ryo Takahashi（名古屋大学）、Jason McCullough（爱荷华州立大学）、Parangarma Sarkar（密苏里大学）、Kyungyong Lee（内布拉斯加州大学）。会谈之间的非正式讨论将有助于传播新的成果和想法。讲座将从周六中午到周日中午举行，以尽量减少参加者的费用。奖励基金将支付一个晚上的住宿和旅行费用，重点是支持研究生和早期职业研究人员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports participation in a conference on commutative algebra, KUMUNU 2018, which will be held at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Oct 13-14, 2018. KUMUNU (which is named for its original participating institutions: the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, Columbia, and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln) is an annual conference (held since 1999) for commutative algebraists in the Great Plains region. Major goals specific to KUMUNU 2018 are to broaden the geographic reach of the conference, promote a connection between commutative algebra and related areas, and showcase the research of early career mathematicians. To promote connections between commutative algebra and other areas, talks from some experts on tropical geometry, convex geometry, and optimization are included. The conference will also include a poster session for junior researchers. The general goal of KUMUNU is to provide a setting to share cutting-edge mathematical research and promote collaborations among algebraists in or within driving distance of the Great Plains region. KUMUNU 2018 aims to advance mathematics through the dissemination of new and innovative results and techniques via research talks. These talks are intended to inspire participating mathematicians and promote collaboration. Invited speakers are David Eisenbud (University of California), Raymond Heitmann (University of Texas), Siamak Yassemi (University of Tehran), Ryo Takahashi (Nagoya University), Jason McCullough (Iowa State University), Parangarma Sarkar (University of Missouri), Kyungyong Lee (University of Nebraska). Informal discussions between talks will help spread new results and ideas. Talks will be held from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, thereby minimizing expenses for participants. Award funds will defray one night's accommodation and travel expenses, with an emphasis on support of graduate students and early-career researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
