Objective

The algorithmic theory of Gröbner bases has been introduced, in 1965, by Bruno Buchberger with various forerunners since the end of the 19th century and various related theories. In the meantime, the method of Gröbner bases has been heavily studied and is now available in all major mathematical software systems. It has found numerous applications in abstract fields of mathematics as well as in science and engineering.

The special semester on Gröbner bases aims at bringing together researchers from all over the world for joint research on Gröbner bases and related theories and methods. Also, through the special semester, knowledge on these theories should be made availabe and disseminated in a new way that uses both recent advances in formalized mathematics as well as web technology. Part of the effort during the special semester will also go into special lectures, tutorials, and training and, after the special semester, events for the dissemination of the research results will be organized. Both established researchers as well as junior researchers, postdocs, and PhD students are welcome to participate in the activities of the special semester.

If you are interested in participating in the special semester, send the application form. Note that, through formulating proposals in the application form, you may significantly influence the program of the special semester.

Significance

The significance of the Gröbner bases theory and method and of similar theories is documented by the following facts:
  • An extra entry in the MSC classification of mathematics is devoted to Gröbner Bases: 13P10.
  • So far, approx. 600 publications and 10 textbooks have been devoted to Gröbner Bases.
  • Gröbner Bases are routinely available in all current mathematical software systems like Mathematica, Maple, Derive, Magma, Axiom, etc.
  • Special software systems, like CoCoa, Macaulay, Singular, Plural, Risa-Asir etc. are, to a big extent, devoted to the applications of Gröbner Bases.
  • Gröbner Bases theory is an important section in all international conferences on computer algebra and symbolic computation.
  • Gröbner Bases allow, for the first time, algorithmic solutions to some of the most fundamental problems in algebraic geometry but are applied also in such diverse areas as functional analysis, statistics, optimization, coding theory, cryptography, automated theorem proving in geometry, graph theory, combinatorial identities, symbolic summation, special functions, etc.
  • Since non-linear systems are ubiquitous in all natural and technical sciences, the Gröbner bases and related methods have numerous applications in science and engineering.

Research Focus

Gröbner bases and related theories are already a big field. Therefore, in order to enhance the chance of coming up with new research results during the semester, we will focus on a few research directions that seem to be particularly topical and innovative:
  • Formal Gröbner bases theory: build-up of web-accessible formal knowledge base verified by automated reasoners, formal computer-supported verification and synthesis of algorithms in Gröbner bases and related theories, generic and generalized versions of the theory, formal reasoning methods for Gröbner bases and related theories.
  • Efficient implementation of Gröbner bases and related algorithms: theoretical foundation of new versions of the algorithms; best practice of implementation; comparative complexity and computing time analysis; interplay with numerics; interplay with algorithms in real algebraic geometry; systems clinics.
  • Recent and new applications of the theory: applications in operator theory (functional analysis) as a frame for applications for differential equations, recurrence relations, special function theory etc.; applications in coding theory and cryptography; applications in graph theory; etc.
Other focus directions may be accepted as a result of the discussion process between now and the start of the special semester in February 2006 (see application).
