CIRM will be hosting a workshop on Higher Dimensional Algebraic Geometry and Characteristic p September 12-16, 2016.
Over the past two years, there has been substantial and rapid progress in the understanding of higher dimensional algebraic varieties in characteristic p > 0, specifically from the point of view of the minimal model program. Techniques first developed in commutative algebra and representation theory in the 1980s have begun to be employed extensively. Further development and dissemination of these methods is still needed. On the other hand, it has become clear that in order for further progress to be made, connections with arithmetic aspects of varieties in characteristic p > 0 must be explored and addressed. Additionally, recent progress on applications of Berkovich spaces to birational algebraic geometry suggests another direction in which we will try to forge connections. This workshop will bring together researchers from distinct several areas within algebraic geometry and and also arithmetic geometry with the goal of disseminating recent techniques and forging new connections in research.

We are deeply sad to share with the commalg community that Diana Taylor has passed away on June 13 2016. Diana was known for her work on resolution of monomial ideals that has motivated so many mathematicians.
Our thoughts are with her friends and family.

update 24 June 2016: We are also saddened to tell the community that Anthony Geramita passed away on the 22nd. Tony had a long and distinguished career at Queen’s University and the University of Genova.

Below is a letter from the organizers of the workshop:
Dear all,
We are organizing a Macaulay2 workshop, from Monday 23 May to Thursday
26 May 2016 with Sunday 22 May and Friday 27 May serving as travel
days. Activities will start first thing Monday morning. The workshop
will be at the University of Warwick, UK. This is the second European
Macaulay2 workshop.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring Macaulay2 developers together
with those who would like to share or develop their skills at writing
packages for Macaulay2 and those interested in developing the
corresponding mathematical algorithms. We are interested in
participants with a broad range of experience with Macaulay2, from
very experienced to novices. The novices will have the opportunity to
learn about Macaulay2 from the more experienced participants.
Some examples of projects from past workshops can be viewed by looking
through the Macaulay2 wiki pages for past workshops (see
http://wiki.macaulay2.com/Macaulay2/index.php?title=Macaulay2_Wiki).
There is ongoing work on many of the packages described there, and we
hope that a few teams will propose new projects and work on them at
this workshop as well.
Support is available from the Macaulay2 NSF grant for a small number
of US based people with experience with M2. We also have some local
funding that can provide partial support for participants. If you
would like to attend, please apply as soon as possible at the
following webpage: http://goo.gl/forms/nx1ZoWHHXE
and also register at the Warwick MRC page:
http://web.warwick.ac.uk/mrc/events.php
Your application should include:
1. information about what projects/algorithms you would like to work
on, and what you have done in the past. (This is the most important
piece — please put some thought into this and be as specific as
possible),
2. whether you would require financial support for travel expenses,
and if you will be willing to share a room.
3. your current institution and rank, and if you are a PhD
student, your supervisor’s name.
Applications are due by 1 April, 2016. We plan to allocate local funds
to participants shortly thereafter.
Best,
Thomas Kahle and Diane Maclagan (the organizers)
