The conference will be held on the occasion of Juan Migliore’s 60th birthday and will take place at the University of Notre Dame from May 16 to May 19, 2016. We plan to start the talks in the morning of Monday, May 16, and finish Thursday afternoon, May 19.
This meeting is in the tradition of Midwest Algebra and Geometry Conferences. The topics of the conference are recent advances in Commutative Algebra and its intersection with Algebraic Geometry, with particular emphasis on liaison theory, combinatorial commutative algebra, Hilbert functions, free resolutions, characteristic p methods, multiplicity theory, multiplier ideals, and local cohomology.
There will be a poster session to give junior mathematicians and graduate students an opportunity to present their work. Junior mathematicians and graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate in the conference, as well as mathematicians from traditionally underrepresented groups and faculty of undergraduate institutions.
