The object of the lectures is to learn commutative ring theory and its applications. The knowledge of ring theory is not only the basis of algebraic geometry and number theory, but it becomes an indispensable language for learning other branches of mathematics. We begin to explain local cohomology and basic properties, regular sequnces, Cohen-Macaulay rings, as well as their geometric meanings.
1. Understand local cohomology modules and its relation with regular sequences
2. Learn how to compute local cohomology modules
3. Understand Cohen-Macaulay rings via local cohomology
4. Construct examples of Cohen-Macaulay rings
injective module, projective module, regular sequence, local cohomology, Cohen-Macaulay ring

Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | We will discuss the following topics in the lectures. (1) injective module and injective resolution (2) Ext-modules and regular sequnece (3) definition of local cohomology modules (4) local cohomology with its connection to Cohen-Macaulay rings (5) Gorenstein ring (6) vanishing theorem and local duality theorem (7) applications to algebraic geometry | Details will be provided during each class session. |
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 30 minutes preparing for class and another 30 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
None required.
