Commutative algebra was born in the 19th century from algebraic geometry, invariant theory, and number theory. Today it is a mature field with activity on many fronts, and important links to other areas such as algebraic topology, combinatorics, mathematical physics, noncommutative geometry, representation theory, singularity theory, and statistics. The program will reflect the wealth of interconnections suggested by these fields, and will introduce young researchers to these diverse areas.
One of the thrusts of the year-long program will be to foster new connections in addition to strengthening existing ones. The program will also highlight exciting recent developments in commutative algebra on syzygies and free resolutions, homological and representation theoretic aspects, tight closure and singularities, and birational geometry.
