DESCRIPTION:Daniel Smolkin (University of Utah)\nThe n-th power of an idea
 l is easy to compute\, though difficult to describe geometrically. In cont
 rast\, symbolic powers of ideals are difficult to compute while having a n
 atural geometric description. In this talk\, I will describe how to compar
 e ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals using the techniques of positive-
 characteristic commutative algebra\, especially in toric rings and Hibi ri
 ngs. This is based on joint work with Javier Carvajal-Rojas\, Janet Page\,
  and Kevin Tucker. The talk will be aimed at a broad audience of pure math
 ematicians\, so graduate students are encouraged to attend!
