Graduate Workshop in Commutative Algebra for Underrepresented Minorities

本次研讨会将于2019年4月12日至14日在明尼苏达大学举行。研讨会将集中于形成一个来自对交换代数感兴趣的代表性不足的社区的研究人员社区。该研讨会主要针对博士课程第一至第三年的研究生。研讨会的目标是(a)向参与者介绍交换代数的前沿研究课题，(b)促进参与者与交换代数教师之间形成师徒关系，(c)加强交换代数及其周边领域中代表性不足的研究人员的网络，以及(d)发展跨越标准主题合作并涉及不同研究人员群体的合作关系。研讨会将包括杰出研究人员的演讲、活跃的小组工作、参与者展示自己研究成果的机会以及社区建设活动。研讨会将有四场50分钟的全体讲座，由终身教授或终身教授授课，四场20分钟的讲座，由高级研究生授课，以及两场海报会议，鼓励所有非演讲者参加。此外，为了帮助与会者更好地理解全体会谈中提出的技术和方法，将有讨论环节和问题环节，以便积极工作。全体会议以交换代数为中心，但有意的演讲者有兴趣交叉表示理论，代数几何，组合学和计算代数。会议网站可在https://juliettebruce.github.io/gwcawmmg/.This上找到奖项反映了NSF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 workshop will be held April 12-14, 2019 at the University of Minnesota. The workshop will focus on forming a community of researchers from underrepresented communities interested in commutative algebra. The workshop is primarily aimed at graduate students in their first through third years of a Ph.D. program. The goals of the workshop are to (a) introduce participants to cutting edge research topics in commutative algebra, (b) facilitate the formation of mentoring relationships between participants and faculty in commutative algebra, (c) strengthen the network of underrepresented researchers in commutative algebra and surrounding fields, and (d) develop collaborative relationships that cut across standard topic-collaborations and involve diverse groups of researchers. The workshop will include presentations from prominent researchers, active group work, opportunities for participants to present their own research, and community building activities. The workshop will have four 50-minute plenary lectures given by tenured or tenure-track faculty, four 20-minute talks given by senior grad students, and two poster sessions encouraged for all non-speaker participants. Furthermore, in order to help participants better understand the techniques and methods presented in the plenary talks, there will be discussion sessions and problem sessions for active work. The plenary talks are centered around commutative algebra, but the intended speakers have interests intersecting representation theory, algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and computational algebra.
