Purpose: This interest group is intended for mathematicians interested in participating in U.S. based conferences on automorphisms of Riemann surfaces/algebraic curves and related topics. The interest group has held special sessions in these AMS regional conferences:

2005 Santa Barbara, 2007 Tucson, 2009 Penn State, 2015 Chicago, 2018 Portland, 2020 Tufts - unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic, but was revived as an 2022 AMS virtual conference, 2024 Milwaukee, and 2026 Boston.

Though the 2020 conference was cancelled, we succeeded in producing from it a Contemporary Mathematics volume with 16 papers. The volume, CONM 776, was published in February 2022.

Current Organizers:

Allen Broughton, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Emeritus), brought@rose-hulman.edu
Jennifer Paulhus, Mount Holyoke College, jpaulhus@mtholyoke.edu
Sebastián Reyes-Carocca, Universidad de Chile, sereyesc@gmail.com
Primary Contact: Aaron Wootton, University of Portland, wootton@up.edu

Current and Future Conferences: We try to have these every 2-3 years.

Current Conference: Boston, March 2026
Next Conference

Past Conferences: The conference pages below give an overview of past conferences, participants, titles of papers and some links to presentation and/or papers.
