DESCRIPTION:Assistant Prof. Michael Kemeny (Stanford University) \nThe stu
 dy of the equations defining projective varieties\, and the relations (i.e
 . syzygies)  amongst them has an old and venerable history. First conside
 red around 1850 in the work of Sylvester\, the computation of syzygies has
  remains a central topic in algebra to this day. Much later on\, it was re
 alised that syzygies arise naturally in algebraic geometry through the inf
 initesimal study of maps between moduli spaces. Moreover\, Green and Schre
 yer noticed in the 1980s that there appears to be a deep and mysterious co
 nnection between the abstract geometry of an algebraic curve and its syzyg
 ies.\nWe will discuss some recent investigations regarding this connection
