Conference on 100 Years of Noetherian Rings

Matrix Factorizations and Complete Intersection Rings
Irena Peeva
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract:

Motivated by applications in Invariant Theory, Hilbert introduced an approach to describe the structure of modules by free resolutions. Hilbert's Syzygy Theorem shows that minimal free resolutions over a polynomial ring are finite. Most...

The Spectrum of Elliptic Calabi-Yau Threefolds
2:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: I will discuss a dictionary between the quantities in the spectrum of the string theory compactified on the Calabi-Yau and object in the Calabi-Yau. I will also discuss some properties.

The Geometry of GL-Varieties
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract:

A $\mathrm{GL}$-variety $X$ is an (infinite-dimensional) affine variety with an action of the infinite general linear group $\mathrm{GL}$ such that the coordinate ring of $X$ is a polynomial  $\mathrm{GL}$-representation and generated by...

The Log Canonical Threshold Revisited
James McKernan
12:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: The log canonical threshold plays a fundamental role in algebraic geometry, especially birational geometry and Mori theory. Recently the problem of classifying foliations on algebraic varieties has been revolutionized by introducing ideas...

Gale Duality, Blowups and Moduli Spaces
Carolina Araujo
10:30am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: To understand the birational geometry of a projective variety $X$, one seeks to describe all rational contractions from $X$. From an algebraic perspective, information about all these contractions are encoded in the ring formed by all...

Singularities of Pairs in Positive Characteristic and in Characteristic Zero
Shihoko Ishii
9:00am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: For studies on singularities over the field of characteristic zero, we can use many convenient tools: resolutions of singularities, Bertini’s theorem (generic smoothness), cohomology vanishing of Kodaira type, and so on. However, in...

Abstract Algebra in Homotopy-Coherent Mathematics
4:15pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: Emmy Noether was a central figure in the development of abstract algebra in the early 20th century. Her ideas were profoundly influential, touching nearly every corner of mathematics. In this talk, I'll discuss how those ideas have taken...

An Irregular Deligne–Simpson Problem
2:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract: The Deligne--Simpson problem asks for a criterion of the existence of connections on an algebraic curve with prescribed singularities at punctures. We give a solution to a generalization of this problem to $G$-connections on $\mathbb{P}^1$...
