MEGA 2005
Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry
Computing in and with algebraic geometry: Theory, Algorithms, Implementations, Applications.
The Conference MEGA 2005
was held at Hotel
Corte Rosada, a sea resort at Porto Conte,
Alghero, Sardinia (Italy)
from Friday, May 27th to Wednesday, June 1st, 2005.
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) and 2003
(Kaiserslautern, Germany).
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 (to appear). We plan to publish selected papers from the
conference in a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
Conference Topics
Effective Methods and Theoretical and Practical Complexity Issues in:
Commutative Algebra, Geometry, Real 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, as well as applications of these fields.
