Algebra and Geometry 2026

Dale Cutkosky and Hema Srinivasan have made important contributions in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry in their long careers at the University of Missouri. Cutkosky is a leading expert on the resolution of singularities and has proved several fundamental results on local monomialization and asymptotic multiplicities. Furthermore, his books on resolution of singularities and introductory algebraic geometry are used worldwide. Srinivasan's research focuses on the intersection of algebra and geometry. She has made lasting contributions to commutative algebra, particularly in the study of Hilbert functions, Gorenstein sequences, and the homological structure of algebraic resolutions.

Beyond their individual research achievements, Cutkosky and Srinivasan have left a deep impact on the global mathematical community through their dedicated service and leadership. Their influence is characterized by the mentorship of numerous doctoral students and early-career researchers who now contribute to the field across the world. By fostering sustained international partnerships and organizing key conferences, they have been instrumental in the growth and connectivity of the algebra and geometry community.

This conference is supported by CMI.
