OVERVIEW

Language: Italian

This is a course on Commutative Algebra, and will be centered on the issue of the lack of bases for modules over a ring: most modules are not free, so one has to "approximate" them in some way. The better is the approximation, the better is the ring, in a sense that agrees with the geometric concept of singularities: we will see in detail regular ring, Cohen-Macaulay rings, UFD's, techniques from homological algebra

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Provide students with the basics of homologous algebra and notions such as free resolution and depth of a module; Introduce / deepen regular rings, Cohen-Macaulai rings, and UFDs.
