| Parent Program: | Commutative Algebra |
|---|
Though cluster algebras are ``just'' commutative algebras with distinguished sets of generators, the field has developed from very different sources. It now has flourishing and striking connections with several diverse areas, such as quiver representations, Teichmueller theory, invariant theory, tropical calculus, Poisson geometry, and polyhedral combinatorics. The time is ripe for a major meeting in which the connections between the cluster algebras and classical commutative algebra are explored. As natural as this proposition is, the two fields have not been in close contact; the Joint Introductory Workshop will be a groundbreaking event.
The workshop will take place at the opening of the MSRI special programs on Commutative Algebra and on Cluster Algebras. It will feature lecture series at different levels, to appeal to a wide variety of participants. There will be minicourses on the basics of cluster algebras, and others developing particular aspects of cluster algebras and commutative algebra.
