MEGA 2009

Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry

Computing in and with algebraic geometry:
Theory, Algorithms, Implementations, Applications

The Conference MEGA 2009 will be held at the University of Barcelona, from  Monday, June 15th to Friday, June 19th, 2009.

MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and its equivalent in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc.), a series of roughly biennial conferences on computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics with very high standards. Previous meetings were held in 1990 (Castiglioncello, Italy), 1992 (Nice, France), 1994 (Santander, Spain), 1996 (Eindhoven, Nederlands), 1998 (St. Malo, France) 2000 (Bath, United Kingdom), 2003 (Kaiserslautern, Germany),  2005 (Porto Conte, Italy) and 2007 (Strobl, Austria).

Proceedings containing a selection of the papers and invited talks presented at previous Mega conferences have been published by Birkhäuser in the series Progress in Mathematics (volumes no. 94, 109 and 143), by the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra (volumes no. 117 and 118, 139 and 164) and by the Journal of Symbolic Computation (volumes no. 39 3-4 and 42 1-2).

Conference Topics

Effective methods, complexity issues and applications in: Commutative Algebra, Algebraic and Semialgebraic Geometry, Algebraic Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and related fields: Algebraic Analysis of Differential Equations, Differential Geometry, Associative Algebras, Group Theory, Algebraic Groups and Lie Algebras, Algebraic and Differential Topology.

Venue

The conference will take place at the Facultat de Matemàtiques of the Universitat de Barcelona, a 19th century building located in the city centre.

Mathematics

The address is: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 585, 08007 Barcelona. The building is on the square known as Plaça de la Universitat. This square is served by buses numbers 9, 14, 16, 17, 24, 41, 50, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 63, 64, 66, 68, 91, 94 and 95, and by underground lines 1 and 2 (lines 3 and 4 have slightly less close stops).
