The AMS will hold a “Mathematics Research Community” (MRC) on Commutative Algebra in Snowbird, Utah, from June 7 to 13, 2015.
MRCs are designed “to develop and sustain long-lasting cohorts for collaborative research projects in many areas of mathematics. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to participate. The AMS will provide a structured program to engage and guide all participants as they start their careers.”
The organizers for this MRC are
- Srikanth B. Iyengar, University of Utah
- Karl Schwede, University of Utah
- Liana Sega, University of Missouri—Kansas City
- Gregory G. Smith, Queen’s University
- Wenliang Zhang, University of Nebraska
The workshop will focus on the following topics:
- Singularities in positive characteristic
- Local cohomology and D-modules
- Methods from homotopy theory
- Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity
- Infinite free resolutions
