CommAlg Group is a mailing list at Yahoo! Groups, for those interested in commutative algebra, particularly for students. It is available on Yahoo! Groups.

MSRI has posted the streaming video and student lecture notes from the lectures given during the Introductory Workshop in Commutative Algebra, September 9–13, 2002.

Big news! There is now a Commutative Algebra section of the arxiv.org preprint server. No longer will we have to use the RA (Rings and Algebras) or AG (Algebraic Geometry) sections. The new code is AC (standing for Algèbre Commutative, or just keeping in mind that AC=CA). We will be updating our FAQ to reflect the change shortly, as well as adding information on how to subscribe to new announcements.

Some selected photos of the Workshop on Homological Methods in Commutative Algebra, May 25-31, 2002, Tehran-Iran, have been posted at the IPM webpage.

Graham Leuschke has posted some photos from talks and a party at the “Commutative Algebra Days” conference in Lincoln, Nebraska, Mar 14-15.

Graham Leuschke has posted some photographs from a party during the AMS Sectional Meeting in Ann Arbor, MI, Mar 8-10. The Special Session was lovely, and the party was a great time. Go see!

There is a new journal related to commutative algebra: the International Journal of Commutative rings (IJCR). For more information, please visit the journal’s website.

Irena Swanson, of New Mexico State University, visited the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) in Tehran, Iran, last month. She gave a series of lectures on tight closure. Here are some photos from her visit.
