Asymptotic invariants in commutative algebra

-
Abstract

A fundamental strategy in commutative algebra to study the asymptotic behavior of objects related to a given ring. In many cases, the information obtained from the limit behavior can be translated back to properties of the ring. In this talk I will present some of these asymptotic invariants and how studying them leads to interesting consequences in related fields such as combinatorics, and algebraic and convex geometry.
