Title:* Zariski-Lipman Conjecture for Module of Derivations*
Abstract: Zariski conjectured that if the module of derivations of a local
ring $R$ at a point on an algebraic variety defined over a field of
characteristic $0$ is a free $R$-module then $R$ is regular. In these two
talks we will survey most of the interesting results proved affirming the
conjecture.
Results of Lipman, Scheja-Storch, Becker, Hochster, Steenbrink-van Straten,
Flenner, Kallstrom, Biswas-Gurjar-Kolte, and some general results which can
be deduced by combining some of these results will be discussed. An
interesting proposed counterexample due to Hochster will be introduced.
Some unsolved cases in the paper of Biswas-Gurjar-Kolte will be mentioned.
