AIM

The goal of this Conference is to present recent progress and new trends in the area of commutative ring theory and module theory. It also aims to gather together mathematicians sharing similar algebraic interests for a fruitful interaction.
The main emphasis is on the following topics:
  • valuation and Prüfer domains and their generalizations;
  • factorization and divisibility properties, decomposition of ideals, class groups;
  • multiplicative ideal and module systems, star and semistar operations, Gabriel-Popescu localizing systems;
  • Krull and Mori domains;
  • integer valued polynomials;
  • chain conditions and prime spectra;
  • Zariski-Riemann spaces of valuation rings;
  • semigroup rings, analytically irreducible one-dimensional rings and their value semigroups;
  • divisibility and heights in modules over integral domains;
  • algebraic entropies of endomorphisms of modules over commutative rings;
  • length functions for categories of modules over commutative rings.
Young researchers interested in these areas are welcome.


There will be a one-day special session dedicated to the 65th birthday of Marco Fontana.
