Singularities, Toric Geometry, and DiffEq: Chemnitz

There will be a conference on “Singularities, Toric Geometry, and Differential Equations”, March 19-23 in Chemnitz (Germany).
The aim of the conference is to report on recent developements in toric algebraic geometry, hypergeometric functions and differential equations, (combinatorial) commutative algebra, mirror symmetry, Hodge theory and related areas. Talks will focus on the interplay of these and neighboring subjects. It should be particularly attractive to Postdocs and Ph.D. students.
Invited speakers are:

  • Andrea D’Agnolo (Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy)
  • Christine Berkesch Zamaere (University of Minnesota, USA)
  • Michael Dettweiler (Universität Bayreuth, Germany)
  • Alicia Dickenstein (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina)
  • Nero Budur (KU Leuven, Belgium)
  • Claus Hertling (Universität Mannheim, Germany)
  • Viktor Levandovsky (RWTH Aachen, Germany)
  • Luis Narváez Macarro (Universidad de Sevilla, Spain)

The Homological Conjectures: Resolved! (MSRI)

A workshop on the Homological Conjectures will be at MSRI,  March 12, 2018 – March 16, 2018.
The homological conjectures in commutative algebra are a network of conjectures that have generated a tremendous amount of activity in the last 50 years. They had largely been resolved for commutative rings that contain a field, but, with the exception of some low dimensional cases, several remained open in mixed characteristic — until recently, when Yves Andr\’e announced a proof of Hochster’s Direct Summand Conjecture. The progress comes from systematically applying Scholze’s theory of perfectoid spaces, which had already shown its value by solving formidable problems in number theory and representation theory. One of the goals of the workshop is to cover the ingredients going into the proofs of the Direct Summand Conjecture.
