The conference is over!
Our thanks to everyone for making the conference a roaring success. Here are a few photos from the weekend; please let us know if you have some too, since not all of ours came out well.
Here is some follow-up material from the speakers, including beamer slides where appropriate, links to relevant (p)reprints, and extra information.
- Avramov: a preprint, Bass numbers over local rings via stable cohomology
- Căldăraru:
- Eisenbud: a reading list of material related to Boij-Soederberg theory, including the preprint Categorified duality in Boij-Söderberg Theory and invariants of free complexes with Daniel Erman
- Green: a preprint, The Ext algebra of a Brauer graph algebra, with Scholl, Snashall and Taillefer.
- Huneke: a preprint, Bounds on the Hilbert-Kunz multipicity, with Celikbas, Dao, and Zhang.
- Liu: slides and two relevant papers A proof of the strong no loop conjecture with Igusa and Paquette, and Some homological conjectures for quasi-stratified algebras with Paquette.
- Pevtsova: slides
- Şega: a preprint, On the linearity defect of the residue field, and some slides.
- Ulrich: a preprint, A study of singularities on rational curves via syzygies, with Cox, Kustin, and Polini.
