Recent Developments in Commutative Algebra: Levico Terme, Trento 2019 - 2283 (1st Edition 2021)

This book presents four lectures on Rees rings and blow-ups, Koszul modules with applications to syzygies, Grobner bases and degenerations, and applications of Adams operations.

Commutative Algebra has witnessed a number of spectacular developments in recent years, including the resolution of long-standing problems; the new techniques and perspectives are leading to an extraordinary transformation in the field.

The material contained in this volume, based on lectures given at a workshop held in Levico Terme, Trento, in July 2019, highlights some of these developments.

The text will be a valuable asset to graduate students and researchers in commutative algebra and related fields.
