If you are staying at the Best Western KOM hotel it is an easy walk from the hotel to the campus. Otherwise, KTH is connected by subway and bus (see google maps or sl.se for itinerary).
Schedule: Monday: Morning session 9am - 12 with a ~30 min break. Lunch 12-2pm. Afternoon session 2-5pm (coffee break with pastries around 3pm).
Tu-Fri: Morning session 9:30 - 12 with a break between lectures. Lunch 12-2pm. Afternoon session 2-5pm (with coffee and sweets break).
Note: All morning lectures will be held in room D34. The afternoon sessions will be split between rooms D34 and D35. Cofee breaks will be held at the math department (Lindstedtsvägen 25), very close to the lecture room.
Overview: The aim of this workshop is to present two series of lectures on the topic of local cohomology. One series of lectures, given by Professor Àlvarez Montaner, will focus on the combinatorial and computational aspect of the theory. The other, given by Professor Wenliang Zhang, will focus instead on the D-module interpretation of local cohomology. This event is designed for young researchers: PhD students and young postdocs with background in commutative algebra. No prior knowledge of local cohomology will be needed or assumed at the beginning of the lecture series.
Organizers: Alessandro De Stefani (Università di Genova), David Rydh (KTH), Boris Shapiro (Stockholms Universitet) and Ilya Smirnov (BCAM).
Contact: For questions about the workshop, please email Alessandro De Stefani (destefani AT dima.unige.it) or Ilya Smirnov (ismirnov AT bcamath.org).
Registration and funding: To register, please submit your application by clicking on the Registration tab and submitting the form. Applicants without PhD are also required to provide a short recommendation letter (1-2 paragraphs) addressing their background and motivation for attending. The letter should be directly sent by the recommender to smc2020.local.cohomology AT gmail.com (note: the year 2020 in the email is NOT a typo, it is due to the event being postponed)
Important: We kindly ask applicants who have already registered and have submitted application material for the edition of the school who was canceled due to Covid outburst to register again, and to resubmit a recommendation latter.
To receive full consideration and be considered for funding, please apply BEFORE APRIL 30. We will make a first round of decisions BEFORE APRIL 10 in order to facilitate applicants who need a visa.
We have limited funding to cover lodging for the days of the workshop, from the night of July 31 (included) until the morning of August 6.

To get to Stockholm:
By air: Arlanda (ARN) is the main international airport, but there is a number of low-cost airlines that fly to Bromma (BMA) or Skavsta (NYO). Arlanda and Skavsta are connected by bus (45-50 min for Arlanda and 80 min for Skavsta): Flygbussarna (https://www.flygbussarna.se) and Flixbus (https://global.flixbus.com). There is also a fast train (20 min) to Arlanda (https://www.arlandaexpress.com). Arlanda Express is cheapear if bought in advance or for a round trip. Bromma can be reached by local transportation.
By train/bus: Depending on where you are traveling from, there may be options to reach Stockholm by train or bus. For example, you could check out the train company SJ (https://www.sj.se/en/home.html), or the bus company Flixbus (https://global.flixbus.com).
Local transportation: The local transportation company in Stockholm is SL (https://sl.se). The system is quite efficient: you can get pretty much anywhere in Stockholm and surrounding areas by subway, bus, train, or boat. Make sure you purchase a ticket in avance, as you can't usually buy one on board. To buy a single-ride ticket you can find SL machines at the entrance of every subway station. A more convenient option if you are planning to use the public transport often is to get an SL Access card from an SL center (for example, at Central Station), and to buy a daily/weekly pass. You can also use your bank card to buy tickets and passes in place of the SL card. There is also a chance to purchase tickets on your phone, if the SL app is available in your country.
The school is sponsored by the Stockholms Mathematics Centre and the European Mathematical Society
