Title: Big Cohen-Macaulay algebras - Part 2.
Abstract: In the first talk, we will look at some applications of big
Cohen-Macaulay algebras. In the second we will give an outline of the
proof by Huneke and Lyubeznik that the absolute integral closure of a
noetherian local domain that is a homomorphic image of a Gorenstein local
ring is a (big) Cohen-Macaulay algebra over it.
