Title: Multigraded Syzygies

 
Abstract: I’ll describe two results that fit a recent theme of research in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry: pushing known results from the graded to the multigraded setting. One involves using logic to get a bound on projective dimension (Stillman’s Conjecture), and the other using homological techniques to get a bound on the regularity of curves. In the pretalk, I’ll introduce the main objects and theirs motivation more thoroughly.
