Topics: Local cohomology and syzygies of affine algebras

The goal of the school is to introduce the participants to some recent developments in the study of local cohomology and syzygies. We will study the local cohomology of polynomial rings with respect to arbitrary ideals and, in particular, how these may be regarded as modules over rings of differential operators.  Applications of local cohomology to questions on the minimal number of defining equations of algebraic sets will be described. A second topic will be recent developments concerning the degrees of syzygies of affine algebras and their Koszul homology,
with a focus on Koszul algebras, like Veronese subrings of polynomial rings. Strong versions of Koszulness and comparison among them will be discussed as well as some computational issues.
