Progress in Commutative Algebra 2—Closures, Finiteness and Factorization

This is the second volume of two containing papers from the 2009 Fall Southeastern American Mathematical Society Meeting. Coverage includes a guide to closure operations in commutative algebra, a survey of test ideals, finite-dimensional vector spaces with Frobenius action, finiteness and homological conditions in commutative group rings, regular pullbacks, noetherian rings without finite normalization, Krull dimension of polynomial and power series rings, the projective line over the integers, on zero divisor graphs, and a closer look at non-unique factorization via atomic decay and strong atoms.
