KUMUNU 2011

这个计划是为了支持2011年KUMUNU会议，该会议将于4月2-3日在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校举行。KUMUNU是由堪萨斯大学（KU）、密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）和内布拉斯加州-林肯大学（NU）主办的年度周末会议，旨在促进地区学校（2009年包括23个不同的机构）的研究人员、博士后和研究生在交换代数和相关学科（如代数几何、k理论和编码理论）方面的互动。尽管KUMUNU三合会在这些地区拥有强大的力量，但地理上的分离给充分利用这一力量带来了障碍。KUMUNU系列会议的目的是为处于职业生涯不同阶段的区域研究人员，包括研究生、刚获得博士学位的学生和非博士学位的教师，提供一个具有成本效益的年度场所。资助机构，与来自KU， MU， NU的经验丰富的研究人员以及来自该地区以外的有限数量的受邀专家进行互动。旅行和住宿支持，以促进参与，特别是研究生，是KUMUNU实现其主要目标的关键因素。这些措施包括：通过展示博士后和年轻教师的研究，并通过与KU， MU， NU和其他地方的高级研究人员会面，帮助交换代数和相关学科的新博士和研究生丰富他们的研究项目，在各个层面发挥强大的区域指导作用；并通过提供讨论交换代数领域最新发展、交换思想和为未来研究合作奠定基础的场所，促进交换代数的研究。典型的KUMUNU会议包括6到8场全体会议，演讲人来自不同地区的高级研究人员、年轻教师和博士后，他们为研究生提供了机会，在会议之外预留了大量的时间进行额外的互动。会议相对较小的规模及其地理和学科重点也鼓励与会者建立富有成效的合作关系。除了提高学生和早期职业参与者的研究生涯，来自非博士的参与者。授权机构将把会议的想法带回给他们的同事和学生，以丰富他们本国机构的教学和研究。2011年的会议是特别的，因为它将与霍华德·罗利讲座一起举行，霍华德·罗利讲座是由内布拉斯加大学数学系每年举办的公开讲座。2011年的Rowlee讲座将由美国数学学会前主席David Eisenbud于4月1日举行。

This project is to support the 2011 KUMUNU conference which will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 2-3. KUMUNU is an annual weekend conference anchored by the Universities of Kansas (KU), Missouri-Columbia (MU) and Nebraska-Lincoln (NU), promoting interaction among researchers, post docs and graduate students in commutative algebra and related disciplines (such as algebraic geometry, K-theory and coding theory) at regional schools (which in 2009 included 23 different institutions). Although the KUMUNU triad has significant strength in these areas, geographic separation raises a hurdle to taking the most advantage of this strength. The aim of the KUMUNU conference series is to provide a cost-effective annual venue for regional researchers at various stages of their careers, including graduate students, recent Ph.D.s and faculty at non-Ph.D. granting institutions, to interact with each other, with experienced researchers based at KU, MU, NU and with a limited number of invited experts from outside the region. Travel and lodging support to facilitate participation, especially for graduate students, is a key element for KUMUNU to achieve its main goals. These include: playing a strong regional mentoring role at all levels by showcasing the research of postdocs and young faculty and by helping recent Ph.D.s and graduate students in commutative algebra and related disciplines enrich their research programs by meeting senior researchers based at KU, MU, NU and elsewhere; and promoting research in commutative algebra by providing a venue for discussion of the latest developments in the field, for exchanging ideas and for setting the basis for future research collaborations. The typical KUMUNU conference comprises 6 to 8 plenary talks accessible to graduate students by speakers representing a geographically diverse mix of senior researchers, young faculty and postdocs, with plenty of time reserved outside of talks for additional interaction. The relatively small size of the meeting and its geographic and disciplinary focus also encourage participants to establish productive collaborative relationships. In addition to enhancing the research careers of the students and early career participants, participants from non-Ph.D. granting institutions will take ideas from the conference back to their colleagues and students to enrich teaching and research at their home institutions. The 2011 meeting is special as it will be held in conjunction with the Howard Rowlee Lecture, an endowed public lecture hosted annually by the Mathematics Department at the University of Nebraska. The 2011 Rowlee Lecture will be given by David Eisenbud, past president of the American Mathematical Society, on April 1.
