Summer School in Commutative Algebra: Local Cohomology and Its Applications Monday, June 20 – Thursday, June 30 (No talks Saturday, June 25) Organizing Committee The primary goal of the summer school is to familiarize graduate students with techniques and applications of commutative algebra to other parts of mathematics. A main theme will be local cohomology theory and its interactions with algebra, geometry and analysis. The first part of the summer school features introductory lectures by junior researchers in the field, including the organizers. These lectures will be aimed at graduate students in their early years with basic knowledge and interest in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. We will also have discussion sessions and computer algebra tutorials in this first part. The last part of the summer school will be a conference with talks by mathematicians working in commutative algebra and adjacent areas. The lecturers for this last part of the summer school include Markus Brodmann, Universität Zürich; Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz, University of Toronto; Marc Chardin*, CNRS and Université Paris VI; David Eisenbud, MSRI; Phillippe Gimenez, Universidad de Valladolid; John Greenlees*, University of Sheffield; Melvin Hochster*, University of Michigan; Joe Lipman*, Purdue University; Gennady Lyubeznik, University of Minnesota; Paul Roberts, University of Utah; Rodney Sharp, University of Sheffield; Karen Smith*, University of Michigan; Ngo Viet Trung, Institute of Mathematics, Hanoi; Keiichi Watanabe*, Nihon University; Santiago Zarzuela, Universitat de Barcelona. The introductory lectures will be delivered by Srikanth Iyengar, University of Nebraska; Graham Leuschke, Syracuse University; Anton Leykin, UIC; Claudia Miller, Syracuse University; Ezra Miller*, University of Minnesota; and the organizers. (* = participation expected) Graduate student participants will be reimbursed expenses for a shared double room as well as boarding, and we hope to cover a portion of the transportation costs. Support for the conference comes primarily from NSF funding for the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conferences, with supplementary funding provided through Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). Applicants from departments that are academic sponsors of MSRI are encouraged to mention this in their application.
