Conference in Commutative Algebra

该奖项支持参加交换代数会议，KUMUN 2017，将于2017年10月21日至22日在劳伦斯的堪萨斯大学举行。KUMUU（以其最初的参与机构（堪萨斯大学，密苏里州大学，哥伦比亚大学和内布拉斯加大学，林肯）命名）是大平原地区交换代数学家的年度会议（自1999年以来举行），吸引了来自更大地理区域的参与者。受邀演讲者有梅尔文·霍切斯特（密歇根大学）、萨姆·佩恩（耶鲁大学）、格雷格·布莱克曼（格鲁吉亚理工学院）、马林泉（犹他州大学）、达纳·韦斯顿（密苏里州大学）、马克·步行者（内布拉斯加大学）和亚历山德罗·迪·史蒂芬尼（内布拉斯加大学）。会议还将包括为初级研究人员举办的海报会议。讲座将于星期六中午至星期日中午举行，以尽量减少参加者的开支。这些资金将用于支付一晚的住宿和旅行费用，重点是研究生和早期职业研究人员。KUMUU的总体目标是提供一个分享尖端数学研究的环境，并促进大平原地区或驾车距离内的代数学家之间的合作。KUMUU 2017的主要目标是扩大会议的地理范围，促进交换代数与相关领域之间的联系，并展示早期职业数学家的研究。为了促进交换代数与其他领域之间的联系，包括一些专家关于热带几何，凸几何和优化的讲座。KUMUU 2017旨在通过研究讲座传播新的和创新的成果和技术来促进数学。这些讲座可能会激发参与的数学家的新想法，并促进他们之间的合作。会谈之间的非正式讨论也应该有助于传播新的成果和想法。由于一些会谈将不会纯粹集中在交换代数，新的连接可能会作出。此外，将邀请区域机构的高级研究人员和初级研究人员发言，使他们有机会展示自己的工作。更多详情请访问会议网站：http://dept.ku.edu/~math/conferences/KUMUNU/2017/。

This award supports participation in a conference on commutative algebra, KUMUNU 2017, which will be held at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, October 21-22, 2017. KUMUNU (which is named for its original participating institutions (the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, Columbia, and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln) is an annual conference (held since 1999) for commutative algebraists in the Great Plains region and attracts participants from a significantly larger geographical region. Invited speakers are Melvin Hochster (University of Michigan), Sam Payne (Yale University), Greg Blekherman (Georgia Institute of Technology), Linquan Ma (University of Utah), Dana Weston (University of Missouri), Mark Walker (University of Nebraska), and Alessandro Di Stefani (University of Nebraska). The conference will also include a poster session for junior researchers. Talks will be held from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, thereby minimizing expenses for participants. The funds will be used to pay one night's accommodation and travel expenses, with an emphasis on graduate students and early career researchers.The general goal of KUMUNU is to provide a setting to share cutting-edge mathematical research and promote collaborations among algebraists in or within driving distance of the Great Plains region. Major goals specific to KUMUNU 2017 are to broaden the geographic reach of the conference, promote a connection between commutative algebra and related areas, and showcase the research of early career mathematicians. In an effort to promote connections between commutative algebra and other areas, talks from some experts on tropical geometry, convex geometry, and optimization are included.KUMUNU 2017 aims to advance mathematics through the dissemination of new and innovated results and techniques via research talks. These talks may inspire participating mathematicians with new ideas, and promote collaboration among them. Informal discussions between talks should also help spread new results and ideas. Since some of the talks will not be focused purely in commutative algebra, new connections may be made. Additionally, both senior researchers from regional institutions and junior researchers will be invited to speak, giving them the chance to exhibit their work.
