Algebraic Geometry: Presentations by Young Researchers Sunday, July 4- Thursday, July 8, 2004 Organizing Committee: Even at its modern inception, algebraic geometry was technically quite demanding. Today the field is broad and deep enough that most new Ph.D.'s narrowly focus on a small part of it in order to produce original research. Thus the postdoctoral years are the best time to broaden their knowledge and to build the connections, both personal and intellectual, that will nourish a lifelong research career. The goal of this conference is to bring together young researchers in all areas of algebraic geometry (broadly defined) in order to provide a showcase for important new ideas and to encourage collaboration among participants. All research talks will be given by mathematically young researchers, likely those no more than two or three years beyond their Ph.D., and graduate students in their final year of study. There will be ample time and emphasis on small group discussions and networking. In particular, there will be structured time in the late afternoons and evenings for participants to work in small groups on the problems and ideas brought up in that day's lectures. Each of these sessions will be conducted by one of the senior organizers, who might open the session with a few mathematical remarks. We expect that the most important benefit of this meeting will be the future collaborations among the participants. In order to ensure ample time for information discussions and mathematical interaction, there will be no contributed talks. It is expected that some support will be available for those wishing to attend talks and participate in the informal discussions.
