Universities of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska (KUMUNU) Conferences in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry

该奖项支持三场名为KUMUNU的会议，专注于交换代数、代数几何和相关领域的研究，将于2019年、2020年和2021年在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校举行，2019年的会议将于9月21日至22日举行。KUMUNU的总体目标是提供一个分享前沿数学研究的环境，促进大平原地区或驾车距离内的代数学者之间的合作。KUMUNU旨在通过研究讲座传播新的和创新的结果和技术来促进数学的发展。这些讨论可能会激发与会数学家的新想法，并促进他们之间的合作。在会谈不进行的时候进行非正式讨论也应该有助于传播新的成果和想法。这些会议还将为早期职业数学家提供展示他们工作的机会。2019年会议的确认发言人是Federico Castillo（堪萨斯大学），Srikanth Iyengar（犹他大学），Linquan Ma（普渡大学），Hamid Rahmati（内布拉斯加州大学），Liana Sega（密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校）和Gordana Todorov（东北大学）。会议还将包括初级研究人员的海报会议。为了最大限度地减少参加人员的费用，会议将从周六中午开始到周日中午结束。由于一些会谈将不完全集中在交换代数或代数几何上，因此可能会建立新的联系。此外，会议将举行海报会议，旨在为一些初级研究人员提供交换代数和代数几何社区的机会，有机会与潜在的合作者见面，并提供与高级研究人员交流的场所。更多的细节可以在会议网站上找到：https://www.math.unl.edu/~tmarley1/KUMUNU/KUMUNU2019.This该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports three conferences, called KUMUNU, focused on research in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and related areas to be held in the falls of 2019, 2020, and 2021 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with the 2019 conference being held on September 21-22. 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. KUMUNU 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 while talks are not running should also help spread new results and ideas. The conferences will also give opportunities for early-career mathematicians to showcase their work. Confirmed speakers for the 2019 conference are Federico Castillo (University of Kansas), Srikanth Iyengar (University of Utah), Linquan Ma (Purdue University), Hamid Rahmati (University of Nebraska), Liana Sega (University of Missouri - Kansas City), and Gordana Todorov (Northeastern University). The conference will also include a poster session for junior researchers. The talks will be held from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, to minimize expenses for participants. Since some of the talks will not be focused purely in commutative algebra or algebraic geometry, new connections may be made. Moreover, the conference will hold a poster session aiming to give a number of junior researchers exposure in the commutative algebra and algebraic geometry community, a chance to meet potential collaborators, and a venue to network with senior researchers. More details are available at the conference website: https://www.math.unl.edu/~tmarley1/KUMUNU/KUMUNU2019.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
