The conference is open to anyone working in commutative algebra. The purpose is for recent Ph.D.s and graduate students in the field to meet experienced researchers, to learn about recent developments in commutative algebra, to exchange ideas with one another, and to develop collaborations for future research. Plus, it gives us in the commutative algebra community a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many important contributions of Roger and Sylvia Wiegand. The primary topics will be aspects of representation theory, homological algebra, computational algebra, and ideal theory that interact with commutative algebra.

We have some support for travel and local expenses from the UNL Department of Mathematics, and additional support from the National Science Foundation. In the allocation of NSF funds, particular consideration will be given to advanced graduate students, recent Ph.D.s, and members of underrepresented groups. In order to be considered for support you need to register.

Speakers, submit a title and abstract to David Jorgensen (djorgens@uta.edu) by May 1st or else you will not be listed in the program.
