This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will establish a Research Training Group (RTG) in Commutative Algebra at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The grant will fund a range of training activities, including a first-year undergraduate research experience, an international REU program, and a professional development workshop for early-career algebraists. It will also create three postdoctoral positions and support numerous graduate students. The RTG aims to increase participation of first-generation and Hispanic students in commutative algebra, enhance the competitiveness of junior researchers, and propel further advances in areas like Betti numbers, symbolic powers, and differential operators. This award reflects NSF's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and support innovative research that has potential for significant societal impact.
