OVERVIEW

Lectures are in Italian unless students requires otherwise

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Introduction to commutative algebra: noetherian rings, primary decomposition and Krull dimension.

TEACHING METHODS

Lessons will be in presence. Most of the available hours will be devoted to the development of the theoretical part of the course; exercise sheets will be made available during the semester, and will be discussed collectively in the remaining hours. 

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Rings, Ideal, modules and algebras. Rings and modules of fractions. Tensor products of modules, tensor algebra, symmetric algebra and exteriro algebra. Chain conditions, Noetherian and Artinian rings. Primary decomposition, associated primes. Dimension theory. Krullhauptidealssatz and its variations. System of parameters and dimension of local rings. Integral dependence, Noether normalization and dimension of finitely generated K-algebras. Graded algebras, Hilbert function and rationality of the Hilbert series.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students with DSA certification ("specific learning disabilities"), disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the Settore Servizi di supporto alla disabilità e agli studenti con DSA of UNIGE, and to agree with the teacher at the beginning of the course the methods of examination which, in compliance with the teaching objectives, will take into account individual learning arrangements and will provide appropriate compensatory tools.
