Southern Regional Algebra Conference 2020

2020年南方地区代数会议(SRAC)将于2020年3月20日至22日在佐治亚州米利奇维尔的佐治亚学院和州立大学举行。这一系列会议成立于1988年，对墨西哥湾沿岸地区的代数研究社区起到了重要作用，该地区包括许多机构，其学生人口在数学科学中的代表性不足。这笔资金将允许研究生、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职员工展示他们的研究成果，并与更大的综合性研究机构的教职员工建立网络。因此，墨西哥湾沿岸地区教员更多地参与了2020年SRAC和未来的SRAC会议，这将促进主要是本科生机构和更大的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，包括代表人数不足的群体的成员，参加数学科学的博士项目。今年的项目有三个学期。其中一堂课将专门讨论交换代数的最新发展。第二节将讨论代数和表示论中的计算方法。第三堂课将是一场来稿的课，内容包括代数及其应用的其他领域的主题。这次会议将对参与机构的本科生研究活动产生潜在的重大影响，并促进一个促进伙伴机构研究人员座谈和研讨会访问的网络，作为该地区招聘和雇用数学家的平台。更多细节可以在会议系列网站上找到：https://www.gcsu.edu/artsandsciences/math/southern-regional-algebra-conferenceThis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。

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.
