During the 2025–26 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting an Algebra Seminar, organized by Stephen Landsittel.
This seminar will take place weekly on Thursdays from 4:00–5:00 pm Eastern Time.
The schedule will be updated as talks are confirmed.

Algebra Seminar Speaker: David Treumann (Boston College) Title: Profinite tensor powers Abstract: I'll discuss the problem of defining a tensor product of profinitely many copies of a vector space V, and propose a definition $\bigotimes_X^{mcc} V$ in the special situation that (1) V is finite-dimensional over F_2, and (2) the profinite X indexing the tensor […]
Algebra Seminar Speaker: Linquan Ma (Purdue University) Title: Lech's inequality and stability of local rings Abstract: We explore Lech's inequality relating the colength and multiplicity of m-primary ideals in a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We introduce a natural invariant that measures the sharpness of Lech's inequality and show its connections with singularities of asymptotically semistable varieties […]
