Interactions between Classical and Numerical Algebraic Geometry

Month: May 2008

Date: May 22--24

Name: Interactions between Classical and Numerical Algebraic Geometry

Location: University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana.

Description

The chief objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from classical and numerical algebraic geometry to spark joint efforts between these two communities. The intersection of these fields is ripe for growth fueled by joint work. Furthermore, this conference coincides with the 60th birthday of Andrew Sommese, Duncan, Chair of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame and one of the pioneers of the field. A secondary objective of this conference is to honor his achievements.

Speakers include

E. Allgower (Colorado State), M. Beltrametti (Genova), M. de Cataldo (SUNY Stony Brook), L. Goettsche (ICTP Trieste), T.Y. Li (Michigan State), C. Peterson (Colorado State), F.O. Schreyer (Saarbrücken), B. Shiffman (Johns Hopkins), J. Verschelde (Univ. of Illinois at Chicago), C. Wampler (General Motors), and J. Wisniewski (Warsaw). Grad students and postdocs, especially those from groups underrepresented in mathematics, are encouraged to attend and to apply for potential funding.
