An Upper Midwest Commutative Algebra Conference

该奖项支持参加于2017年9月22日至23日在明尼苏达大学举行的为期两天的会议，题为“上中西部交换代数会议”。这是旨在召集明尼苏达大学和威斯康星大学以及附近大学机构的教职员工和学生讨论交换代数及其周围话题的一系列会议之一。除了促进科学发现和传播外，会议还寻求建立更强大的区域研究人员社区，并促进研究生的培训和教育。这次会议将由来自全国各地的特邀演讲者进行六次全体演讲。虽然明尼苏达大学和威斯康星大学的大多数交换代数教师都是相对初级的，但这两所大学都有广泛而深入的研究人员社区，他们的工作与交换代数相互作用，但他们主要在其他领域工作，包括代数几何、组合学、数论、应用代数、表示论、计算代数等。因此，这次会议将很好地促成代数不同领域的合作。与会者将包括来自两个主办机构以及附近其他机构的教授、博士后和学生。

This award supports participation in a two day conference entitled "An Upper Midwest Commutative Algebra Conference" at the University of Minnesota on September 22-23, 2017. This is one in a series of meetings designed to bring together faculty and students from the Universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as from nearby collegiate institutions to discuss topics in and around commutative algebra. Besides promoting scientific discovery and dissemination, the conferences seek to build a stronger regional community of researchers and promote the training and education of graduate students. This meeting will consist of six plenary talks by invited speakers from around the country. While a majority of the faculty in commutative algebra at the Universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin are relatively junior, both institutions have broad and deep communities of researchers whose work interacts with commutative algebra, but who primarily work in other fields including algebraic geometry, combinatorics, number theory, applied algebra, representation theory, computational algebra, and more. Thus this meeting is well positioned to lead to collaborations across different areas of algebra. Attendees will consist of a mix of professors, postdocs and students from the two hosting institutions plus other nearby institutions.
