The conference “Commutative Rings and their Modules, 2012 with a special session dedicated to Marco Fontana on occasion of his 65th birthday” will take place in Brixen/Bressanone, Italy, next June 4-8, 2012.
The main topics of the conference are:
- valuation and Prüfer domains and their generalizations;
- factorization and divisibility properties, decomposition of ideals, class groups;
- multiplicative ideal and module systems, star and semistar operations, Gabriel-Popescu localizing systems;
- Krull and Mori domains;
- integer valued polynomials;
- chain conditions and prime spectra;
- Zariski-Riemann spaces of valuation rings;
- semigroup rings, analytically irreducible one-dimensional rings and their value semigroups;
- divisibility and heights in modules over integral domains;
- algebraic entropies of endomorphisms of modules over commutative rings;
- length functions for categories of modules over commutative rings.
