Global Sections of Toric Vector Bundles
Jorin Schug

This talk will continue to follow the "Parliament of Polytopes" paper by Di Rocco, Jabbusch, and Smith. I'll discuss the result that the T-equivariant generators for the global sections of a toric vector bundle E correspond to the lattice points in the parliament of polytopes for E and look to understand this result for some examples, including direct sums of line bundles.

Let Q be a regular local ring. An ideal I in Q is said to be licci if it is in the linkage class of a complete intersection. Christensen, Veliche and Weyman conjectured that a perfect ideal of grade 3 in Q is licci if and only if its free resolution corresponds to Dynkin diagrams.

After introducing the theory of linkage, I will talk about the conjecture, how Dynkin diagrams are involved, and their approach in showing one direction of the conjecture in arXiv:1712.04016.

Spectral Sequences

This is the first of a series of three talks on the spectral sequence of a filtered complex.
This material is by now classical and is an important part of homological algebra.
The main difficulty in dealing with spectral sequences is that there are a lot of indexes involved and this is a considerable obstacle to understanding what is going on. The goal of these talks is to present this material, including most proofs, in an accessible manner.

On a question of Dutta, joint with Linquan Ma and Anurag Singh
Uli Walther, Purdue

For a local ring (A,m) of dimension n,we study the natural map from the n-th Koszul cohomology on a minimal set of generators of m to the top local cohomology of A supported at m. We construct complete normal domains for which this map is zero, thus answering a question of Dutta in the negative. If time permits, we present precise information on the kernel of this map for a large class of Stanley-Reisner rings.

Tate Resolutions and Horrocks Splitting Criterion
&nbsp;Mahrud Sayrafi&nbsp;&nbsp;, &nbsp;

I will talk about the two papers Eisenbud-Fløystad-Schreyer-2003 and Eisenbud-Erman-Schreyer-2015 in which they introduce Tate resolutions for projective spaces and products of projective spaces. As an application, I will talk about Horrocks' criterion for vector bundles in those settings.

$\tau$-Factorization and $\tau$-Elasticity
Bethany Kubik, University of Minnesota, Duluth

A more generalized form of factorization, called $\tau$-factorization, was introduced in 2011 by D.D. Anderson and J. Reinkoester. In $\tau$-factorization, all factors of a factorization must belong to the same equivalence class modulo a fixed ideal. We discuss $\tau$-factorization in small settings and $\tau$-elasticity in a more general setting.
