Graduate Student Algebra Seminar

Embedded Files
Welcome! This website is a record of the (weekly) Graduate Student Algebra Seminar at the University of Kansas, for the academic year 2023-2024. As the name suggests, this seminar is run by grad students, who take turns to give talks on various topics in Commutative Algebra and related areas to their peers. The audience comprises students who just began their grad school to the senior most ones who are about to graduate. Our motive is to encourage each other to learn new topics in the process of preparing to give talks in a friendly environment, as well as learn from other fellow speakers.

Types of talks: We have expository talks accessible to grad students who are learning at an introductory level of Commutative Algebra, as well as slightly advanced research talks. We do plan on having some Macaulay2 sessions soon.
Organizers: Monalisa Dutta, Ritika Nair, and Christopher Wong.
Upcoming talk: Talk 15:
Title: Toric Varieties and Zariski-Nagata Type Theorems
Speaker: Jordan Barrett
Passcode: 321129
Date and time: 05 April, 11am
Abstract : The Zariski-Nagata theorem is a classical result which expresses the nth symbolic power of a radical ideal I in a polynomial ring over a perfect field in terms of the nth regular powers of the maximal ideals in mSpec(I). In this talk I will state a well-known Zariski-Nagata type theorem for projective varieties, give a brief crash course on toric varieties, and discuss my work on characterizing which toric varieties satisfy a Zariski-Nagata result.
Last talk of Fall 2023: Monalisa told us about Linkage!
