Title: Asymptotic syzygies

Abstract: Asymptotic syzygies refers to the study of the syzygies of a variety under increasingly ample embeddings; the canonical example is to study the syzygies of projective space under the d-uple embedding as d goes to infinity. I’ll discuss some open questions related to asymptotic syzygies, and some recent work of myself and Jay Yang which uses a combinatorial model to produce new heuristics about this topic.
