Important Note: (in case we can offer reimbursement)
The NSF conference grant requires the use of a US carrier. In addition, if you intend to purchase an itinerary that is a non-direct return flight to the conference, i.e., a multi-city flight or use of a stopover (this does not include regular connections), you must provide a comparable direct return flight in order to be reimbursed.
PLEASE READ this statement here for detailed instructions on what must be done to get reimbursed.
There will be a poster fair; you can sign up (in the registration form) to present a poster!

Recommended Parking:
Recommended Parking:
The most effective parking is achieved by obtaining online a $5 parking A-license for the day (see here for the instructions ) and then parking in the garage called "PGU" on the map here ; this garage (garages are in burgundy color on the map) is next to the math building (which is slightly Southeast from the garage and called "MATH" on any campus map). This garage needs an A-parking license.
An alternative is the Grant Street Parking Garage located at 120 N. Grant Street, West Lafayette, IN 47906 across from the Purdue Memorial Union. In that garage you apparently pay $1 per hour. The MATH buildning is due West from the Grant Street Garage.

under the keyword "algecom". Anyone staying there will have to pay the hotel directly (the price is 149/night plus tax, but this agreement expires March 10) even if you expect that you will be reimbursed later. The hotel is about 20 minutes walking from the conference room.

Talks will be in room MATH 175. Coffee and posters will be in the lobby outside the lecture hall.
(MATH is the tallest bulding (12 floors) on campus, MA175 is on ground level. Find the "breezeway" (the passage on ground level that goes East-West underneath the math building, and look out for the big glass doors on the South and on the North side. You want to enter the North doors).

Title: Fiber bundles of toric arrangements
Abstract: We present a combinatorial analysis of fiber bundles of generalized configuration spaces on connected abelian Lie groups and discuss topological consequences. These bundles are akin to those of Fadell-Neuwirth for configuration spaces, and their existence is detected by a combinatorial property of an associated finite partially ordered set. Of particular focus is the case of a toric arrangement: a finite collection of codimension-one subtori in a complex torus. If the intersection pattern of the subtori satisfies the combinatorial condition of supersolvability, the complement of the toric arrangement sits atop a tower of fiber bundles. This structure provides insight into topological invariants of these toric arrangement complements, including the homotopy groups, cohomology, and topological complexity. Based on joint work with Daniel C. Cohen and Emanuele Delucchi.

Title: Embedded deformations
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss what embedded deformations are, where to find them, and how they might relate to certain homological tools. This is joint work with Benjamin Briggs, Josh Pollitz, and Mark E Walker.

Title: The toric algebra-geometry correspondence
Abstract: There is a well-established correspondence between the geometry of projective varieties and the algebra of standard graded polynomial rings. Multigraded polynomials have even more structure. Recent work has led to new frameworks for leveraging geometry (including toric geometry and symplectic geometry) to understand multigraded algebra. I will give a survey of the history and recent progress.

Title: The b-function of monomial ideals in positive characteristic
Abstract:: Given an ideal in a polynomial ring over the complex numbers, its b-function as introduced by Budur-Mustață-Saito is a subtle invariant of singularities that detects, among other things, its log canonical threshold. In this talk I will describe a positive characteristic analogue of this invariant, and I will show that the b-function of monomial ideals is characteristic-independent, as long as the prime is picked to be large enough.
