The influence of Gröbner bases on Algebra and Geometry during the last decades cannot be overstated; however, using Buchberger's algorithm as a default method in solving problems may lead to unnecessary computations.
Consequently, alternative algorithms have been proposed: Gröbner-free Solving (or, more generally, Degröbnerization) proposes to find alternative ways to get the same solutions, using, for example, tools from Linear Algebra and Combinatorics.
This approach consists in finding new ways to solve specific problems that have been originally solved using Gröbner basis computation and Buchberger's reduction, leaving the use of the latter only to the cases where it is really necessary; usually, the "new ways'' consist in using linear algebra and combinatorial methods.
Degröbnerization is also largely used to study the reverse problem with respect to solving, namely the bonding problem for algebras and ideals:
Given the variety associated with a 0-dimensional ideal, i.e. a finite set of points, the structure of the quotient algebra (which actually contains more information than the ideal itself) can be recovered only using Combinatorics.
Four cornerstones of Degröbnerization are Auzinger-Stetter Matrices, Mourrain's notion of connected to 1, Lundqvist's fast algorithm for merging sorted lists of monomials and adding polynomials and Cerlienco-Mureddu Correspondence.
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers on the main areas around Degröbnerization. We plan to have a conference, but also a workshop, with a timing sufficiently relaxed to allow participants to discuss and work together.
Topics include
Combinatorial techniques to deal with monomial/polynomial ideals.
Recent developments on the theory -started by Hilbert-on “how to concretely manipulate polynomial ideals”, e.g. ideal theory, resolutions, Hilbert function.
Improvements and/or optimizations of Buchberger's, Janet's and Macaulay's algorithms.
Extensions of these algorithms to a wider class of (not necessarily commutative) rings; for instance, Moeller's reformulation of Buchberger completion/test in terms of his Lifting Theorem is today available in each effectively given ring (in the sense used by Grete Hermann and van der Waerden).
Extensions to subalgebras.
0-dimensional solving/bonding problems.
Gröbner and Gröbner free methods for ideals generated by generic objects.
Application of classical matrices for manipulating algebras and ideals.
Extension of degröbnerization to non-0-dimensional ideals.
Extension of degröbnerization to sub-algebras.
Tag-variable techniques.
Extension of degröbnerization to non-commutative settings.
Parametric polynomial system solving.
Applications, for example to coding theory, cryptography, reverse engineering, biology, algebraic statistics and so on.
The conference will consist of plenary talks by Alessandro Oneto (Università di Trento) and Per Bäck (Mälardalen University), and also contributed talks.
