Synopses & Reviews
Packed with contributions from international experts, Commutative Algebra: Geometric, Homological, Combinatorial, and Computational Aspects features new research results that borrow methods from neighboring fields such as combinatorics, homological algebra, polyhedral geometry, symbolic computation, and topology. This book consists of articles presented during two conferences held in Spain and Portugal in June, 2003. It encompasses a variety of topics, including blowup algebras, Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, integral closure and normality, Koszul homology, liaison theory, multiplicities, polarization, and reductions of ideals. This comprehensive volume will stimulate further research in the field.
Book News Annotation:
Corso (mathematics, University of Kentucky) collects refereed
research papers on developments at the interface of commutative
algebra and algebraic geometry. Blowup algebras, Castelnuovo-Mumford
regularity, integral closure and normality, Koszul homology, liaison
theory, and reductions of ideals are some of the topics featured in
the fifteen original research articles included here. Survey articles
on topics of current interest examine Poincar<'e> series of
singularities, uniform Artin-Rees theorems, and Gorenstein rings.
Most material was presented at two June 2003 meetings held in Spain
and Portugal. There is no subject index.
