International Conference on Commutative Algebra and Combinatorics
Allahabad, India: December 8-13, 2003.

Second Announcement

There will be a satellite meeting of the Joint International Meeting of the A.M.S. and various Indian mathematical societies, at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute (H.R.I.), Allahabad, India. This meeting is organized jointly by the Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana, Pune and the Harish-Chandra Research, Allahabad. News about this activity will be on this site, and updated periodically.

The meet consists of three components: You are invited to indicate your interest in participating in each of these activities.

1. A series of invited lectures on current topics in Commutative algebra and Combinatorics.
The speakers include I. Swanson, R. Thomas, N. V. Trung, W. Bruns, A. Conca, T. Hibi. Speakers are requested to give a write up of about 15-30 tex pages which will be distributed to all the participants, and is likely to be published in due course.
