Title: The past, present, and future of  estimates and their applications
Abstract: The theory of estimates is one of the most powerful tools in several complex variables.  Their applications to complex analytic geometry and algebraic geometry have propelled the development of many important directions of research.  This talk will start out with the background and motivations and past results of the theory and then focus on some outstanding problems with a discussion on the approaches, methods, and techniques toward their solution.
