Mini-course: Convex Geometric Methods in Commutative Algebra

Time:

Venue/Location: Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM), 161 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Lang Ward, Hanoi.

• Lecture 1: July 3, 2026
• Lecture 2: July 10, 2026
• Lecture 3: July 17, 2026

Abstract

The lecture series will focus on convex geometric methods in commutative algebra. Each session consists of a one-hour formal lecture followed by an hour of informal discussion for interested participants. This provides a great opportunity for students and young researchers to engage directly with an expert in the field.

Mode of Participation: Hybrid (online participation is available only for participants outside the Hanoi area)

Target participants: This series is primarily aimed at final-year undergraduate students preparing for graduate studies, early-career Ph.D. students, and young researchers (within a few years of completing their Ph.D.). Participants should have completed coursework in General Algebra and possess basic knowledge of Commutative Algebra.

Language: English and Vietnamese
