ABSTRACT
This award provides funding for two small regional conferences that will continue to rotate among the three host institutions: Iowa State University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Wisconsin. These conferences promote a broad view of commutative algebra, inspiring conversations, and collaborations between different areas of algebra. This is a continuation of a conference series, with two meetings each at Minnesota and Wisconsin between 2015 and 2017. After a brief hiatus, Iowa State University will join the rotation, hosting the conference in 2020 before the event returns to Minnesota in 2021.
Commutative algebra is filled with connections to other areas, including: algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, combinatorics, number theory, applied algebra, representation theory, computational algebra, and more. The conference series supported by this award promotes a broad view of commutative algebra, helping connect it with the research environments in the mathematics departments involved.
Information about the conference will be found at http://www-users.math.umn.edu/~cberkesc/CA/CA.html
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.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
This project hosts small regional conferences that rotate among the three host institutions: Iowa State University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Wisconsin. These conferences promote a broad view of commutative algebra, inspiring conversations, and collaborations between different areas of algebra.
The smaller size of these conferences enables us to focus invitations on plenary speakers who are both doing cutting-edge research and have a record of excellent exposition. This promotes the training and education of graduate students and postdocs who attend and interact with these speakers. In addition, this advances discovery, as graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty learn about exciting new work in commutative algebra.
This meeting also supports the development of research programs for the organizers (Berkesch, Erman, McCullough) and their graduate students and postdocs, through the development of a robust research community and through interactions with the plenary speakers and the local researchers at our institutions.
The organizers are committed to highlighting the work of women researchers via our plenary speakers. To further broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, they also recruit and support graduate students and postdocs from underrepresented groups--including students interested in commutative algebra but working at an outside institution.
The specific talks under this award were given by Patricia Klein, Monica Lewis, Matthew Mastoeni, Victor Reiner, and Botong Wang in 2021 and Hang (Amy) Huang, Janet Page, Michael Perlman, Mahrud Sayrafi, and Mark Walker in 2023.
