Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Foundations of tropical schemes ---------------------------------------------------------------- April 10 to April 14, 2017 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/tropschemes ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on the continuing development of scheme-theoretic techniques in tropical geometry and their applications to broad questions in tropical geometry and algebraic geometry. The workshop is organized by Noah Giansiracusa, David Jensen, Diane Maclagan, and Steffen Marcus. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/tropschemes Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than October 10, 2016. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
