The Texas Algebraic Geometry Symposium is a yearly joint seminar of Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas at Austin. This conference aims to bring to a regional audience the latest developments in Algebraic Geometry.

The Spring 2024 edition is aligned with an astronomical syzygy—The Great American Eclipse of 2024, which will pass over Texas on Monday, April 8, the day after the conference. The organizers will also provide attendees with eclipse glasses, with which you may look at the eclipse outside of totality.

Speakers:
  Pierrick Bousseau   University of Georgia
  Chiara Damiolini   University of Texas
  Juanita Duque-Rosero   Boston University
  David Eisenbud   University of California at Berkeley
  Maria Fox   Oklahoma State University
  Alicia Lamarche   University of Utah
  Hannah Larson   University of California at Berkeley
  Giorgio Ottaviani   Universitá di Firenze
Winner of the poster contest:   Michail Savvas.     Runners up:     Tomasz Mandziuk   and   Suhan Zhong.
Registration is closed
Poster Session: There will be a poster session for participants, with a prize for the best poster by a student or postdoc.
Funding: Conference attendance is supported by NSF grant DMS-2349244. We will have some support available to cover travel expenses and accommodation for graduate students and early-career participants. Request this with your registration.
