[cmath] International Meeting of Commutative Algebra and Related Areas

[Alan Kelm]

*International algebra meeting honors Brazilian researcher *


/The event will be held in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Aron
Simis, retired  emeritus professor of the Federal University of Pernambuco./

Considered by the scientific community as one of the main Brazilian
researchers in the area of algebra, Professor Aron Simis will be honored
during the first edition of the International Meeting of Commutative
Algebra and Related Areas. The international event will take place in
Brazil, at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences (ICMC) of
USP, in São Carlos, from July 17 to 21, 2017.

"Commutative algebra is a rich area for applications within mathematics,
being used, for instance, to solve problems related to dynamical
systems, analytic geometry, topology and singularity theory," points out
Professor Victor Jorge Pérez of ICMC, one of the Coordinators of the
event. "However, in Brazil, there are only a few researchers, research
groups and events related to this field of knowledge," adds Pérez.

In view of this, one of the objectives of the meeting is to help
developing an increasing number of young researchers from Brazil and
Latin America, creating an appropriate atmosphere of cooperation. During
the five days of the event, there will be 15 plenary lectures in total,
1 poster session and, moreover, 3 mini courses, to wit:

• Rees Algebras: Criteria for Cohen-Macaulayness and Integral
Dependence, which will be taught by Bernd Ulrich (Purdue University,
United States);

• Defining Equations of Blowup Algebras, which will be taught by Claudia
Polini (University of Notre Dame, United States);

• Aspects of homological and combinatorial commutative algebra, to be
taught by Jürgen Herzog (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany).

Registration for the event can be made  through July 17, using the
electronic form available at the icmc.usp.br/e/418b3
<http://icmc.usp.br/e/418b3>.

*The honoree -* One of the great exponents of commutative algebra in
Brazil and in the world, Professor Aron Simis is the author of more than
10 books/lecture notes and about 100 scientific papers published in
internationally recognized journals. He directed 20 master and doctoral
students, as well as several postdoctoral fellows throughout his career.

Professor Aron Simis began in 1963, when he finished his degree in
mathematics at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), and obtained
his Master's degree (1969) and Ph.D. (1972) in mathematics from
Queen'sUniversity, Canada. He is a retired emeritus professor of the
UFPE, where he carries out continuous activities in the Graduate School
of the Department of Mathematics.

Currently, he is a visiting professor at ICMC. He is a full member of
the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of
Developing Countries. "The meeting we will hold is a unique opportunity
to recognize Professor Aron Simis academic endeavor for Brazilian
mathematics," Perez said.

The event has the support of the Foundation for Research Support of the
State of São Paulo (FAPESP), the National Council for Scientific and
Technological Development (CNPq), the Coordination for the Improvement
of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the National Institute of Science
and Technology of Mathematics (INCTMat) and the department of
mathematical sciences of the Italian Politecnico di Torino.
