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, and 2024 Milwaukee.

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.
