XIV COLOQUIO LATINOAMERICANO DE ÁLGEBRA Sierras
de Córdoba, Argentina
|
|---|
Purpose:
The series of "Coloquios latinoamericanos de Álgebra" was
organized yearly by the late Orlando Villamayor and others, from 1980 until
1994, with the aim of gathering algebraists of the Southern part
of America. The idea of the "Coloquio 2001" is to relaunch the series,
with the same goals as in the past:
- to promote academic exchange among Latin American algebraists;
- to disseminate recent results in the area, thanks to the participation
of distinguished specialists;
- to allow young graduate students and post-doctoral fellows the access
to modern research topics.

from 16.45 to 17.15.
List of areas with the corresponding chairpersons:
Commutative algebra and applications: Alicia Dickenstein (Buenos Aires).
Hopf algebras and quantum groups: Walter Ferrer Santos (Montevideo).
Operator algebras: Gustavo Corach (Buenos Aires).
Algebraic Geometry: Fernando Cukierman (Buenos Aires).
Logic: Roberto Cignoli (Buenos Aires).
Homological methods: Guillermo Cortiñas (Buenos Aires).
Representations of algebras: María Inés Platzeck (Bahía Blanca).
Representations of finite groups: Jorge Soto Andrade (Santiago de Chile).
Representations of p-adic groups: Roberto Johnson - José Pantoja (Valparaíso).

The distribution of the sessions will be as follows:
From Tuesday, July 31, to Saturday, August 4 the sessions
of Commutative algebra and applications, Hopf algebras and
quantum groups, Operator algebras, Algebraic Geometry, Logic, Representations
of finite groups.
From Monday, August 6, to Friday, August 10, the sessions
of Algebraic Geometry (2nd. part), Homological methods,

Registration: expired. Deadline was May 31, 2001.
After confirmation of your participation in the Colloquium, we shall kindly ask you to provide us some more information.
Financial Support: As a general rule, the organizing Committee will NOT pay any travel expenses, except for extremely special cases. The organizing Committee will give a limited number of grants to cover partial living expenses of some participants, according to the available funds.
We have applied to the ICTP Office of External Activities, Trieste, for funds to cover a limited number of travel expenses of participants of the region. This is not confirmed yet.
Participants from Latin America or Caribe may also apply for travel grants to the Unión Matemática de América Latina y elCaribe (UMALCA) (aprox. deadline: June 1, 2001). More information in http://umalca.fing.edu.uy/boletines/6/llamado.html
Logistic: We expect to have at most 200 participants. The Colloquium will take place in a hotel located in the Sierras de Córdoba, (hills in the outskirts of the city of Córdoba).
