It’s been an active month here at commalg.org. Hot on the heels of our recent retirement of the preprints section, we have redesigned our list of commutative algebraists. The new list is easily searchable and hopefully easier to use. We’ve also made some changes to make the list easier to maintain, and to help cut down on any spam that you might receive because of us. We hope you like it! Please feel free to contact us with any feedback about the new list, including corrections and updates.
We’ve also posted some photographs from the recent conference and summer school in Trieste, Italy. As always, we’d be happy to post any additional photos, and grateful for any corrections or additions. Go see!
update: Thanks to N.V. Trung and J. Herzog, here are many more photos of the Trieste conference. Thanks!
update again: Here are some more photos from L. Robbiano. Thanks, everyone!
update again again: We’ve added some more photos taken at the mini-course at the University of Utah. Thanks Florian!

Due to the success of the Commutative Algebra (AC) section of the arXiv preprint server, we have decided to retire the preprints section of commalg. We are no longer updating this section and will eliminate it altogether in the not-so-distant future. Check our FAQ for general information on the arXiv and, in particular, for easy instructions for subscribing to email announcements of new articles.
In other news, we have some photos from the joint meeting of the AMS and SMM in Houston, the recent conference at Purdue in honor of Joe Lipman, and the mini-course at the University of Utah. Go see!

Leslie Roberts has posted some great photos of the recent conference at Purdue in honor of Joe Lipman. Thanks, Leslie! There are also some group photos (note: large images). What a good-looking bunch!

Sorin Popescu has posted a great slideshow of photos from last summer’s conference in Lisbon (which we posted about here).
Go see!

Lots of conference pictures! We’ve posted some from the KUMUNU 2003 meeting back in October, and others from the Allahabad meeting in December. Thanks to Sean, Winfried, and Irena for the photos!
Don’t forget to let us know if you’ve taken pictures at a conference or other gathering of commutative algebraists!

Jack Maney has posted some photos from the recent AMS meetings in Baton Rouge and Chapel Hill. Great shots!

We just found these great photos from the Conference on Commutative Algebra in Japan, August 2001. You can read more about the conference here.
Don’t forget to let us know if you’ve got some photos of your own, or other news, to share.

Leslie Roberts has posted some photos from the Route 81 conference in Syracuse (see our entry) on his web page. Go see!

A recent article in the Notices lists several new resources for mathematical literature on the web, some of which we’ve added to our links page. Check them out!
For example, NUMDAM (that is, the organization for NUMérisation de Documents Anciens Mathématiques) has placed the entire text of Publications Mathématiques de l’IHÉS (1959-1997) online. In particular, this means that EGA is completely accessible to the entire world in PDF format. The text is even fully searchable! Well done, NUMDAM!
In other French news, we’ve put some photos from Luminy on commalg.org. These were taken during the recent CIRM conference, and show commutative algebraists working and relaxing in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth. Go see!

We’ve posted some photographs from the Snowbird Joint Summer Research Conference. If you’d like to send us your own, or let us know where they are online, please do!
Meanwhile, enjoy the photos!
