Gröbner free methods and their applications

Barcelona, April 13-15 2026

Aula IC Facultat de Matemàtiques i Informàtica, University of Barcelona


This is a series of anual events following those organized in Bari 2025, and La Rioja 2024.

The goal of these meetings is to bring together researchers working on alternative methods for solving polynomial systems. While Gröbner bases have been highly influential, Buchberger’s algorithm can be computationally heavy when used by default. Gröbner-free approaches instead rely on linear algebra and combinatorics to obtain the same results more efficiently, reserving Gröbner basis computations for when they are truly needed.

Topics include but are not limited to

* Combinatorial methods for monomial and polynomial ideals
* Improvements and generalizations of Gröbner-related algorithms such as Janet’s and Macaulay’s.
* Algorithms for doing computations in subalgebras • 0-dimensional solving and bonding problems
* Applications in coding theory, cryptography, reverse engineering, biology, and algebraic statistics

As in the previous editions, our timing will be sufficiently relaxed to allow participants to discuss and work together.

Keynote Speakers

Gianira Alfarano, Université de Rennes

Roser Homs, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya

Submission instructions and deadlines

If you are interested in giving a 30 minutes presentation, please submit an abstract (3 pages maximum) through Easychair.
The accepted abstracts will be distributed at the conference. Some of them, on decision of the Organizing Committee, will be allowed to submit a complete paper which will be published in a special issue of Journal AAECC, after a referee evaluation according to the standard of the Journal.
