Polynomial Automorphisms, Hanoi

The Institute of Mathematics, Hanoi, Vietnam, and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, are organizing an International School and Workshop on Polynomial Automorphisms and Related Topics from October 9 to October 20, 2006, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The aim of the conference is to introduce mathematicians from Asian developing countries to recent developments in the field of Polynomial Automorphisms and its related topics in Commutative Algebra and Affine Geometry and to promote the collaboration between mathematicians from different developing and developed countries in this field.
The main topics include polynomial automorphisms, the Jacobian Conjecture and related topics, topology of polynomials and global diffeomorphisms.
The scientific program will consist of an Advanced School October 9 – 13, with 5 instructional courses for graduate students and young mathematicians from Asian developing countries, and an International Conference October 14 – 20, on recent developments in the field.
