Title: Torsion in Commutative Algebra.
Abstract: This talk will be a somewhat historical one, concerning three
problems dealing with the idea of torsion. The three problems are those on
symbolic powers, the Huneke-Wiegand conjecture, and Berger's conjecture.
Besides talking about my own memories, we will focus on torsion in tensor
products.
