Symbolic Powers I

This talk aims to introduce symbolic powers of ideals focusing on geometric reasons for studying them. The classical Zariski-Nagata theorem characterizing symbolic powers as higher order vanishing ideals, interpolation problems, and some examples illustrating the subtlety of the containment problem between the symbolic and ordinary powers of an ideal will be discussed.
