This workshop will focus on the two-way traffic between Geometry and Commutative Algebra. It will consist of three courses, each on foundations, current research, and open problems in Commutative Algebra and Geometry: Secant Varieties Instructor: Enrico Carlini, Politecnico di Torino Instructor: Anthony Geramita, Queen's University and University of Genova. Problem Session Assistant: Luke Oeding, University of California, Berkeley. Course notes: lecture 1 (version 29 May), lecture 2 (version 29 May), lecture 3 (version 01 June) Previous versions: lecture 3 (version 29 May) Fat Points and Symbolic Powers Instructor: Brian Harbourne, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Problem Session Assistant: Susan Cooper, Central Michigan University. Course notes (version: May 27). References Differential Graded Commutative Algebra Instructor: Sean Sather-Wagstaff, North Dakota State University. Problem Session Assistant: Kristen Beck, University of Arizona. Course notes (version: May 28). Each course will have daily lectures and problem sessions where participants come together to discuss background material, exercises, and possible research problems. The workshop will provide a focused venue for graduate students, recent Ph.D.'s, and established researchers to enrich their background on diverse aspects of the disciplines, to learn about recent developments, and to establish connections with other researchers.
