Seven Commutative Algebraists and Algebraic Geometers have moved to the Southeast since 2011.
The conference is designed to welcome these new hires, to
foster collaborations between researchers at different institutions, and to encourage and nurture interaction between the Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry communities.
The conference will be from 4:00 PM on Friday, November 8, 2013 until noon on Sunday, November 10, 2013. There will be nine lectures, a poster session, and plenty of mathematical conversation.
The Speakers include:
- Nicolas Addington (Duke University), "On derived categories of moduli spaces of torsion sheaves on K3"
- Neil Epstein (George Mason University), "The tight interior of a module: a dual to tight closure"
- Angela Gibney (University of Georgia), "Conformal blocks and quantum cohomology"
- Robin Hartshorne (University of California -- Berkeley), "Set-theoretic complete intersections and divisor class groups"
- Craig Huneke (University of Virginia), "Powers and symbolic powers define Golod rings"
- Ezra Miller (Duke University), "Binomial irreducible decomposition"
- Luis Núñez-Betancourt (University of Virginia), "Lyubeznik numbers and injective dimension of local cohomology in mixed characteristic"
- Joseph Rabinoff (Georgia Institute of Technology), "Continuous analogues of methods used to calculate component groups of Jacobians", and
- Kirsten Wickelgren (Georgia Institute of Technology), "An Abel map to the compactified Picard scheme realizes Poincaré duality".
