  • Questions About Boij-S\" Oderberg Theory
    QUESTIONS ABOUT BOIJ–SODERBERG¨ THEORY DANIEL ERMAN AND STEVEN V SAM 1. Background on Boij–Soderberg¨ Theory Boij–S¨oderberg theory focuses on the properties and duality relationship between two types of numerical invariants. One side involves the Betti table of a graded free resolution over the polynomial ring. The other side involves the cohomology table of a coherent sheaf on projective space. The theory began with a conjectural description of the cone of Betti tables of finite length modules, given in [10]. Those conjectures were proven in [25], which also described the cone of cohomology tables of vector bundles and illustrated a sort of duality between Betti tables and cohomology tables. The theory itself has since expanded in many directions: allowing modules whose support has higher dimension, replacing vector bundles by coherent sheaves, working over rings other than the polynomial ring, and so on. But at its core, Boij–S¨oderberg theory involves: (1) A classification, up to scalar multiple, of the possible Betti tables of some class of objects (for example, free resolutions of finitely generated modules of dimension ≤ c). (2) A classification, up to scalar multiple, of the cohomology tables of some class of objects (for examples, coherent sheaves of dimension ≤ n − c). (3) Intersection theory-style duality results between Betti tables and cohomology tables. One motivation behind Boij and S¨oderberg’s conjectures was the observation that it would yield an immediate proof of the Cohen–Macaulay version of the Multiplicity Conjectures of Herzog–Huneke–Srinivasan [44]. Eisenbud and Schreyer’s [25] thus yielded an immediate proof of that conjecture, and the subsequent papers [11, 26] provided a proof of the Mul- tiplicity Conjecture for non-Cohen–Macaulay modules.

CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 BIBLIOGRAPHY 9 DIRECTORY OF INSTITUTE MEMBERS, 1930-1954 205 MEMBERS WITH APPOINTMENTS OF LONG TERM 265 TRUSTEES 269 buH FOREWORD FOREWORD Publication of this bibliography marks the 25th Anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Advanced Study. The certificate of incorporation of the Institute was signed on the 20th day of May, 1930. The first academic appointments, naming Albert Einstein and Oswald Veblen as Professors at the Institute, were approved two and one- half years later, in initiation of academic work. The Institute for Advanced Study is devoted to the encouragement, support and patronage of learning—of science, in the old, broad, undifferentiated sense of the word. The Institute partakes of the character both of a university and of a research institute j but it also differs in significant ways from both. It is unlike a university, for instance, in its small size—its academic membership at any one time numbers only a little over a hundred. It is unlike a university in that it has no formal curriculum, no scheduled courses of instruction, no commitment that all branches of learning be rep- resented in its faculty and members. It is unlike a research institute in that its purposes are broader, that it supports many separate fields of study, that, with one exception, it maintains no laboratories; and above all in that it welcomes temporary members, whose intellectual development and growth are one of its principal purposes.

Brescia — F. de Giovanni — M. Trombetti (Received Apr. 12, 2017 — Communicated by Dikran Dikranjan) Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 01A55, 20D25 Keywords: Frattini’s Argument; Alfredo Capelli In his memoir [7] Intorno alla generazione dei gruppi di operazioni (1885), Giovanni Frattini (1852–1925) introduced the idea of what is now known as a non-generating element of a (finite) group. He proved that the set of all non- generating elements of a group G constitutes a normal subgroup of G, which he named Φ. This subgroup is today called the Frattini sub- group of G. The earliest occurrence of this de- nomination in literature traces back to a pa- per of Reinhold Baer [1] submitted on Sep- tember 5th, 1952. Frattini went on proving that Φ is nilpotent by making use of an in- sightful, renowned argument, the intellectual ownership of which is the subject of this note. We are talking about what is nowadays known as Frattini’s Argument. Giovanni Frattini was born in Rome on January 8th, 1852 to Gabrie- le and Maddalena Cenciarelli. In 1869, he enrolled for Mathematics at the University of Rome, where he graduated in 1875 under the * The authors are members of GNSAGA (INdAM), and work within the ADV-AGTA project 118 M.

  • Algebraic Research Schools in Italy at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: the Cases of Rome, Palermo, and Pisa
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Historia Mathematica 31 (2004) 296–309 www.elsevier.com/locate/hm Algebraic research schools in Italy at the turn of the twentieth century: the cases of Rome, Palermo, and Pisa Laura Martini Department of Mathematics, University of Virginia, PO Box 400137, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4137, USA Available online 28 January 2004 Abstract The second half of the 19th century witnessed a sudden and sustained revival of Italian mathematical research, especially in the period following the political unification of the country. Up to the end of the 19th century and well into the 20th, Italian professors—in a variety of institutional settings and with a variety of research interests— trained a number of young scholars in algebraic areas, in particular. Giuseppe Battaglini (1826–1892), Francesco Gerbaldi (1858–1934), and Luigi Bianchi (1856–1928) defined three key venues for the promotion of algebraic research in Rome, Palermo, and Pisa, respectively. This paper will consider the notion of “research school” as an analytic tool and will explore the extent to which loci of algebraic studies in Italy from the second half of the 19th century through the opening decades of the 20th century can be considered as mathematical research schools. 2003 Elsevier Inc.

OSWALD VEBLEN June 24,1880—August 10, i960 BY SAUNDERS MAC LANE SWALD VEBLEN, geometer and mathematical statesman, spanned O in his career the full range of twentieth-century Mathematics in the United States; his leadership in transmitting ideas and in de- veloping young men has had a substantial effect on the present mathematical scene. At the turn of the century he studied at Chi- cago, at the period when that University was first starting the doc- toral training of young Mathematicians in this country. He then continued at Princeton University, where his own work and that of his students played a leading role in the development of an outstand- ing department of Mathematics in Fine Hall. Later, when the In- stitute for Advanced Study was founded, Veblen became one of its first professors, and had a vital part in the development of this In- stitute as a world center for mathematical research. Veblen's background was Norwegian. His grandfather, Thomas Anderson Veblen, (1818-1906) came from Odegaard, Homan Con- gregation, Vester Slidre Parish, Valdris. After work as a cabinet- maker and as a Norwegian soldier, he was anxious to come to the United States.
