Mathematics Seminars for the week of October 6, 2003
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:30, in VinH 16Professor Irena Peeva
of Cornell University
will speak on
"Hilbert schemes"
The Hilbert function is an invariant which measures the size of a
graded ideal in a polynomial ring: in particular, it gives the dimension and
the multiplicity of the variety defined by a prime ideal. The Hilbert scheme
(introduced by Grothendieck) parameterizes ideals with a fixed Hilbert
function. This talk will discuss properties of Hilbert schemes.
