Title: The Cohen-Macaulay property, its applications and generalizations
Abstract: In classical linear algebra, the maximal number of independent linear equations we can impose on R^n is equal to the dimension n.
Generalizing this simple fact to commutative algebra and algebraic geometry leads to the notions of Cohen-Macaulay rings and Cohen-Macaulay varieties.
In this talk we explain this notion, discuss its algebraic and geometric meaning, and demonstrate its various applications in algebra, geometry and combinatorics.
Finally, we discuss a recent generalization of this notion to derived algebra, and some of its applications.
