Title: Reduction to characteristic $p$ - Part 1
Abstract: This is an expository talk introducing the methods of reducing
to characteristic $p$. The main tools and general notions necessary to
reduce a problem to characteristic $p$ will be discussed in this talk. It
is based on chapter 2 of the excellent resource "Tight Closures in
Characterisitic zero" by Hochster and Huneke. We will be restricting
ourselves to the case of affine algebras since it is more accessible.

Title: Reduction to characteristic $p$ - Part 2
Abstract: This talk presents problems solved by using the method of
reduction to characteristic $p.$ Mainly, we present two nice problems
which have been solved using the reduction to characteristic $p$ methods.
We also present a recent result in the field of symbolic power which uses
the reduction to characteristic $p.$
