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。研讨会的重点将是建立一个由对交换代数感兴趣的代表不足的社区的研究人员组成的社区。该研讨会主要面向博士项目一至三年级的研究生。研讨会的目标是：(A)向参与者介绍交换代数的前沿研究主题；(B)促进交换代数参与者和教员之间形成指导关系；(C)加强交换代数及其周围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。研讨会将包括知名研究人员的演讲、积极的小组工作、参与者展示自己的研究成果的机会，以及社区建设活动。研讨会将有四场50分钟的全体讲座，由终身教职员工或终身教职教师授课，四场20分钟的演讲由研究生讲授，并鼓励所有非演讲者参加两场海报会议。此外，为了帮助与会者更好地了解全体会议介绍的技术和方法，还将举行讨论会和问题讨论会，以便积极开展工作。全体会议以交换代数为中心，但演讲者的兴趣涉及表象理论、代数几何、组合学和计算代数。会议的网站可以在https://juliettebruce.github.io/gwcawmmg/.This上找到，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智力优势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.
