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.
