Commutative Algebra and its Interactions with Algebraic Geometry
AMS Sectional Meeting, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada, Oct 18-19, 2014
Susan Cooper, Sara Faridi and Will Traves organized a special session titled Commutative Algebra and its Interactions with Algebraic Geometry at the American Mathematical Society's sectional meeting on October 18-19, 2014. The meeting took place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. The special session was well attended and participants enjoyed a wonderful dinner at The Cellar, a Halifax restaurant not far from the university. A listing of the talks follows in the order they were given. Unless otherwise noted, links are to slides provided by the participants. An asterisk appears next to each presenter's name.
