CONFERENCE PROPOSAL: MEETING ON COMBINATORIAL COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA (MOCCA 2014), September 1, 2014

组合交换代数涉及控制多项式方程组或由多项式方程组控制的离散方法或结构，例如在其解集的算法计算中。 这一领域正在迅速发展，以至于该领域的一些关键研究人员从未见过面。MOCCA会议http：//www.uni-magdeburg.de/mocca，将于2014年9月在意大利的莱维科泰尔梅举行，为期一周，将纠正这种情况，全球范围内有二十多位特邀演讲者，特别关注早期职业参与者;这是2014年欧洲组合交换代数领域的重大事件。 通过这笔赠款提供的资金使组织者能够支持美国- MOCCA会议将为交换代数领域的研究人员提供一个互动、交流思想和建立新联系的机会。 发展预计在应用组合学的正特征方法以及代表性理论和代数几何。 二十多位受邀演讲者具有广泛的组合交换代数的不同背景。 特别关注早期职业参与者将允许一个积极的，刺激的，动手的气氛。 除了受邀的演讲者之外，预计有50名与会者，会议规模足够小，这样人们就可以相互了解，同时又有足够的多样性来促进创新。 会议预计将作为一个灵感，以参与学生和作为一个来源的新思想和新同事的发言者和与会者。

Combinatorial commutative algebra concerns discrete methods or structures that govern or are governed by systems of polynomial equations, for example in algorithmic computations of their solution sets. This field is growing rapidly, to the extent that some of the key researchers in the area have never met in person. The MOCCA conference http://www.uni-magdeburg.de/mocca, to be held in Levico Terme, Italy for a week in September, 2014, will rectify this situation with an unusual worldwide portfolio of two dozen invited speakers and a particular focus on early career participants; it is the major event in the area of combinatorial commutative algebra in Europe in 2014. Funding through this grant enables the organizers to support U.S.-based mathematicians traveling to Levico and thus allow these researchers to interact face-to-face with other MOCCA participants, integrating them fully into the international community.The MOCCA conference will provide an opportunity for researchers in commutative algebra to interact, exchange ideas, and establish new connections. Developments are expected in the applications of combinatorics to positive-characteristic methods as well as to representation theory and algebraic geometry. The two dozen invited speakers have diverse backgrounds broadly covering combinatorial commutative algebra. Special focus on early-career participants will allow for an active, stimulating, hands-on atmosphere. With an expected 50 attendees other than the invited speakers, the conference is small enough so that people will know each other while at the same time diverse enough to foster innovation. The conference is expected to serve as an inspiration to participating students and as a source of new ideas and new colleagues for speakers and participants.
