A local algebraist commuting in Bangalore

Abstract: This talk will be about Artinian local rings, mainly quotients of polynomial rings. I will begin with examples of Artinian rings and some structures defined over them. We will then explore (through examples) a special sub-class called Gorenstein Artin rings. This will be a non-rigourous and self-contained (as far as possible) talk. Prereqs include the knowledge of polynomial rings and computing partial derivatives of polynomials.
