Interactions between Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry

“交换代数和代数几何之间的相互作用”会议将于2012年10月20日至21日在加拿大安大略金斯顿的皇后大学举行，作为81号公路会议系列的特别版，该系列会议每年在康奈尔大学，皇后大学和锡拉丘兹大学之间轮流举行。这次会议将汇集领先的专家，年轻的研究人员，最近的博士和研究生在交换代数和代数几何来自美国和加拿大和来自世界各地。重点讨论的主题是割线品种，脂肪点的性质和同调不变量。会议将突出代数几何和交换代数在上述重点领域之间存在的强烈相互作用的许多方面，使与会者能够更好地了解这些主题的当前研究和最新进展。通过为美国的参与者提供旅行和住宿支持，该补助金将促进美国研究生和早期职业研究人员的职业发展，使他们与同行和来自美国，加拿大和国外的领先专家接触，在一个令人兴奋的智力参与氛围中，旨在刺激思想交流，促进参与者之间的研究合作。会议组织者的进一步详情和联系信息可从会议网站http://www.mast.queensu.ca/~ggsmith/Route81/index.html获得。

The "Interactions between Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry" conference will be held at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, October 20-21, 2012, as a special edition of the Route 81 conference series that has rotated annually among Cornell University, Queen's University, and Syracuse University for over two decades. This conference will bring together leading experts, young researchers, recent Ph.D.s and graduate students in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry from across the United States and Canada and from around the world. The topics of focus are secant varieties, properties of fat points, and homological invariants.The conference will highlight many aspects of the strong interplay that exists between Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra in the focus areas mentioned above, enabling participants to gain a better understanding of current research and recent advances on these topics. By providing travel and lodging support for US-based participants, this grant will promote the career development of graduate students and early career researchers from the US by bringing them into contact both with peers and with leading experts from the US, Canada and abroad, in an exciting atmosphere of intellectual engagement designed to stimulate the exchange of ideas and to foster research collaborations among the participants.
