CAPITAL REGION ALGEBRA/NUMBER THEORY SEMINAR Speaker: Hara Charalambous, University at Albany Time: Monday, May 13, at 3:20 pm, Place: Earth Science Bldg. ES 152A, University at Albany Title: Monomial resolutions Abstract: Let Q=k[x_1,..., x_n] be a polynomial ring over a field k and \phi: Q^e -> Q^g a multigraded map. We study modifications of the strands of the Koszul Complex and generalize the Taylor resolution to obtain the free resolution of the cokernel of \phi when \phi satisfies certain rank criteria. When \phi is generic we provide the minimal resolution. We establish the significance of the lcm lattice for \phi. Refreshments at 3:00pm in ES 152.
