and Related Topics (DART-III)
Rutgers University at Newark, November 13-16,
2008
The Third International
Conference on Differential Algebra and Related Topics (DART-III) is the third
in a series of conferences after DART and DART-II on the subject of
differential algebra and related topics.
Based on the pioneering work
of Ritt and foundational research of Kolchin in the last century, differential
algebra has evolved into an extremely rich subject in the recent two decades.
From traditional studies of differential equations using an algebraic view
point, it now has interactions with highly diversified areas of mathematics,
ranging from algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and mathematical logic to
differential algebraic equations on differential manifolds, Diophantine
geometry, and arithmetic differential equations. New and improved differential
algebraic methods have been incorporated in many symbolic computation systems.
Much progress has alsobeen made in related algebra structures, such as
difference algebra, difference and differential schemes, and Rota-Baxter
algebra.
Topics that will be covered
by this workshop mainly are:
differential Galois theory,
differential schemes,
differential algebraic
groups,
differential algebra and
model theory,
exterior differential
systems,
Riemann-Hilbert
correspondence,
Rota-Baxter algebra and
renormalization,
integrable systems,
computational differential
algebra
Analogous topics in difference
algebra are included as well. Other topics such as D-module theory, control
theory, and applications to non-commutative differential geometry will also be
considered in as much as they relate to the above.
Confirmed speakers at the
conference include
Matthias Aschenbrenner: UCLA
Guy Casale: University of
Rennes 1
Julia Hartmann: University
of Heidelberg
Evelyne Hubert: INRIA Sophia

There will be sessions for
contributed talks and for posters. If you would like to contribute, please send
a title and abstract by July 1, 2008. Please indicate whether you would
like to be considered for the poster session in case a contributed talk is not
available. A decision on contributed papers and posters will be made by August
1, 2008.
Funding for the Workshop for
participants with US citizenship or permanent residence status is available
from the National Security Agency. Limited funding for other participants is
available from the Rutgers University. Priority in financial support will be
given to graduate students and post-docs, especially minorities and women.
Requests for support received before August 1, 2008
will receive first consideration.
To register or submit your
presentation, please send an e-mail to any of the organizers. Please give an
itemized estimate of your costs if you would like to be considered for support.
