Original Announcement
This workshop will be devoted to studying a nascent bridge between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry, with an emphasis on developing Macaulay2 software for homological computations at the interface of these two fields. Recent breakthrough work of Hanlon-Hicks-Lazarev and Favero-Huang employs symplectic techniques to build line bundle resolutions over toric varieties, resolving several conjectures in toric geometry and multigraded commutative algebra. These results have illuminated a striking new connection between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry: this workshop will bring together experts in these fields with the goal of increasing our computational power to study the interplay between them.
The main topics for this workshop are:
Developing Macaulay2 software to compute the line bundle resolutions over toric varieties constructed by Favero-Huang, Favero-Sapranov, and Hanlon-Hicks-Lazarev.
Implementing homological constructions arising in symplectic geometry, e.g. Fukaya categories, in Macaulay2.
Developing Macaulay2 packages for constructing projective resolutions over noncommutative algebras.
Creating functionality for working with toric stacks in Macaulay2.
