AIM SQUARE -- Explicit Reduction Theories (Feb 21-25, 2011)
Purpose
This is a proposal to gather researchers with distinct perspectives on the topic of explicit computational methods for reduction theories and their application to study geometry, cohomology, and modular forms. The purpose of our week-long collaboration is to:
- Discuss/share current methods for using explicit reduction domains, and interesting open problems.
- Lay the groundwork for creating a unified computational framework for explicit reduction theory computations in SAGE, and discuss how to combine existing specialized projects to this end.
- Set concrete goals for future collaborations and software development.
(See the AIM Squares Proposal for more information.)
Attendees
- Jonathan Hanke (Univ. of Georgia, Athens, USA)
- Achill Schurmann (Univ. of Rostock, Germany)
- Robert Miller (MSRI, Berkeley, CA)
- Marty Weissman (Univ of Califarnia, Santa Cruz, USA)
- Mathieu Dutour (Institut Rudjer Boskovic, Zagreb, Croatia)
- Paul Gunnells (Univ. of Massachussetts, Amherst, USA)
- Dan Yasaki (Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA)
- Herbert Gangl (Durham Univ, UK)
(See the AIM Squares Proposal for a short bio of each researcher.)

Questions to Discuss/Ponder:
Computational Questions
- What can we compute? What do we want to compute?
- What is the state of the current (open-source) software projects?
- Can we make it easier to use and package it is Sage?
