Duality and Stratification in Commutative Algebra - Lecture 2

Delve into the second lecture of a series on Duality and Stratification in Commutative Algebra, presented by Srikanth B. Iyengar at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore advanced concepts in algebraic topology, commutative algebra, and modular representation theory of finite groups during this 1 hour and 14 minute session. Gain insights into the interconnections between these mathematical fields, focusing on duality phenomena and classification problems in tensor-triangulated categories. Examine the derived category of commutative rings and its role as a model for stable categories in group theory and topology. Investigate Grothendieck duality theory, Gorenstein rings and schemes, and their applications to generalizing Poincaré duality. Learn about the classification of thick and localising subcategories in triangulated categories and the computation of their spectra. Discover the theory of cohomological support varieties and its origins in modular representation theory. Enhance your understanding of these advanced topics, building upon foundational knowledge in algebraic topology, commutative algebra, and homological algebra.
