School on "Liaison and related topics"
Politecnico Torino 1-5 October 2001.

The school has been organized by G. Casnati, N. Chiarli and S. Greco.
The main lecturers were: J. Migliore (Notre Dame Univ. USA) and U. Nagel (Paderborn Univ. Germany).
Each lecturer has given five lectures, covering the following arguments:

Background: Hyperplanes sections. Deficiency modules. All modules occur (up to shift). Shifts, minimal shifts. Basic double links (as ideals); all shifts occur. Miimal free resolutions.

Gorenstein ideals: Different constructions: BR sheaves, sums of linked ideals, BE in codim 3, K+H, includes CI in general, equals CI in codimension two, examples.

Basic liaisons definitions: First results: standard exact sequences, degrees, arithmetic genera, linear equivalence, basic double links, basic double G-links, applications, another construction of Gorenstein ideals.

More refined results: N-type resolution, E-type resolution, all possibilities occur, Rao's correspondance, Hartshorne-Schenzel theorem. Different notions of minimality. Examples in projective 4-space. All complete intersections are linked. Definition of licci and glicci.

Codimension two results: Hilbert-Burch. Gaeta's theorem. Rao's theorems. Lazarsfeld-Rao (LR) original theorem, LR property. Applications. Vector bundles. Stick figures. Rao's correpondance in higher codimension. In particular converse of Gaeta's theorem and of Hartshorne-Schenzel's theorem for curves.

Some evidence: Gaeta theorem for determinantal ideals. Monomial ideals result. ACM curves on general smooth rational surfaces. Results on scrolls (Hartshorne, Lesperance, Casanellas-Miro Roig, Nagel-Notari-Spreafico). Are all Gorenstein ideals glicci? Other invariants for CI-liaison. Contrast CI-liaison and G-liaison.

Further applications: Monomial ideal curves. Maximal Betti numbers for reduced Gorenstein schemes.
