Blowup algebras and elimination theory
Abstract: The theory of blowup algebras is a central area of commutative
algebra. Blowup algebras are so called because they are related to the
process of blowing up a variety along a subvariety. Using
elimination theory we will find the defining equations of the Rees algebras of
certain classes of ideals. This is joint work with A. Kustin and B. Ulrich.
