Southern Regional Algebra Conference 2020

2020年南方区域代数会议（SRAC）将于2020年3月20日至22日在乔治亚州米利奇维尔的乔治亚学院州立大学举行。该系列会议成立于1988年，对墨西哥湾沿岸地区的代数研究界起着重要作用，该地区包括许多学生在数学科学方面代表性不足的机构。这项资助将允许研究生、年轻数学家、来自小型机构、本科机构和服务于代表性不足群体的机构的教师展示他们的研究，并与来自大型综合研究机构的教师建立联系。因此，墨西哥湾沿岸地区的教师在SRAC 2020和未来SRAC会议上的参与度增加，将促进主要本科院校和大型综合性大学之间的合作。反过来，这将有助于招收更多的学生，包括代表性不足的群体的成员，攻读数学科学博士学位。今年的项目有三个环节。其中一节课将专门讨论交换代数的最新发展。第二节课将讨论代数和表示理论中的计算方法。第三节课将是一个专题课，包括代数的其他领域及其应用。会议将对参与院校的本科生研究活动产生潜在的重大影响，并建立一个网络，促进伙伴院校的研究人员参加座谈会和研讨会，为该地区的数学家招聘和就业提供平台。更多的细节可以在会议系列网站上找到：https://www.gcsu.edu/artsandsciences/math/southern-regional-algebra-conferenceThis该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

The Southern Regional Algebra Conference (SRAC) 2020 will be held at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, Georgia on March 20-22, 2020. This conferences series, established in 1988, plays an important role for the algebra research community in the Gulf Coast Region, which incorporates many institutions whose student populations are under-represented in the mathematical sciences. This funding will allow graduate students, young mathematicians, faculty from small institutions, undergraduate institutions, and institutions that serve under-represented groups to present their research as well as network with faculty from larger comprehensive research institutions. The resulting increased participation of faculty in the Gulf Coast Region at SRAC 2020 and future SRAC meetings will foster collaboration between primarily undergraduate institutions and larger comprehensive universities. In turn this will help to recruit more students, including members of under-represented groups, to Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences.This year’s program has three sessions. One of these sessions will specialize in recent developments in commutative algebra. A second session will concern computational methods in algebra and representation theory. The third session will be a contributed session comprising topics in other areas of algebra and their applications. The meeting will have potential significant impact on undergraduate research activities at participating institutions, as well as fostering a network that facilitates colloquia and seminar visits of researchers at partner institutions, serving as a platform for both recruitment and employment of mathematicians in the region.
