GEMS of Commutative Algebra 2023

GOS

About

Gender Equity in the Mathematical Study (GEMS) of Commutative Algebra is a workshop for graduate students at the University of Minnesota, November 10-12, 2023. This workshop is focused on forming a community for women and non-binary researchers interested in commutative algebra through learning about specific topics in commutative algebra from a diverse group of prominent active researchers. The goals of this workshop are to:

  1. introduce participants to cutting edge research topics in commutative algebra and surrounding areas,
  2. facilitate the formation of mentoring relationships between participants and faculty,
  3. strengthen the network of women and non-binary mathematicians in commutative algebra and surrounding areas, and
  4. develop long-term collaborative relationships. Towards these goals the workshop will consist of plenary talks, graduate student talks, problem sessions, discussion groups, and poster sessions.

Logistics

There will be a limited amount of funding for junior participants. We expect to be able to provide partial travel support for some participants from within the United States. Accommodation for funded participants will be arranged by the organizers for the nights of Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10.
