AIM Workshop: Homological Mirror Symmetry and Multigraded Commutative Algebra

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to studying a nascent bridge between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry, with an emphasis on developing Macaulay2 software for homological computations at the interface of these two fields. Recent breakthrough work of Hanlon-Hicks-Lazarev and Favero-Huang employs symplectic techniques to build line bundle resolutions over toric varieties, resolving several conjectures in toric geometry and multigraded commutative algebra. These results have illuminated a striking new connection between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry: this workshop will bring together experts in these fields with the goal of increasing our computational power to study the interplay between them.
