This summer school will explore connections between homotopy theory, commutative algebra and representation theory with the goal of enhancing research interactions and applications among these fields.

During the first week, July 26-30, there will be three lecture series (associated editor listed in third column):

During the second week, August 2-6, there will be several two or three hour expository lecture series (associated editor listed in third column):

Prepared lecture notes are available for some of the talks, where available click on the speakers' title. As mentioned at the conference, we welcome comments on these notes via email to the appropriate editor listed after the talk title. Editors: Lucho Avramov, Dan Christensen, Bill Dwyer, Mike Mandell, Brooke Shipley.

Handwritten lecture notes (or slides) have been scanned in for the talks by Adem, Buchweitz, Greenlees, Hess, Iyengar and Morava.

Photos from the talk are available at www.commalg.org, thanks to Sean Sather-Wagstaff.

Schedule:

First Week:

Second Week: (with the Wednesday* schedule 9:00-10:00; 10:20-11:20; 11:40-12:40)

Registration/Application: Registration is now closed.

Prerequisites: Both weeks will be aimed at graduate students and beginning researchers who have some background in either homotopy theory, commutative algebra or representation theory and who would like to learn about the interactions between these fields. A majority of the topics are covered in standard courses on homology and commutative algebra. Some topics are slightly more advanced though, and students will probably find it beneficial to review this background material before the summer school.

Organizers: Lucho Avramov, Dan Christensen, Bill Dwyer, Mike Mandell, Brooke Shipley.
