  • Speaker: Dharm Veer, CMI
  • Title: Tate resolutions
  • Abstract: Following Tate's paper 'Homology of noetherian rings and local rings (1957)' we will look at skew-commutative differential graded algebras (Such an algebra is called an R-algebra) over a commutative noetherian ring R. We will first show that there always exists a free resolution X of the residue class ring R/I which is an R-algebra and we will use these resolutions to study the algebra structure of Tor^R(R/I,R/J).

  • Title: Koszul algebras
  • Abstract: Koszul algebra is a graded K-algebra R whose residue field K has a linear free resolution as an R-module. From certain point of views, Koszul algebras behave homologically as polynomial rings. To check that an algebra is Koszul is usually a difficult task. We will discuss some methods in this direction.

  • Title: Newton-Okounkov bodies
  • Abstract: The theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies, also called as Okounkov bodies, is a new connection between algebraic geometry and convex geometry. Okounkov bodies were first introduced by Andrei Okounkov, in a construction motivated by a question of Khovanskii concerning convex bodies governing multiplicities of representations. Kaveh-Khovanskii and Lazarsfeld-Mustata have generalized and systematically developed Okounkov's construction, showing the existence of convex bodies which capture much of the asymptotic information about the geometry of (X, D) where X is an algebraic variety and D is a big divisor. The main goal of these lectures is to understand Okounkov's construction given by Lazarsfeld-Mustata and give applications to Seshadri Constants. References:
