Title |
The Claborn-Fossum Conjecture and The Gersten Complex |
Abstract |
A classical theorem of Auslander-Buchsbaum asserts that the divisor class group of a regular local ring A is trivial. Several years later, Claborn and Fossum conjectured that the same result ought to hold for all cycles of positive codimension on Spec A. In this talk, we shall discuss the storied history of this problem, its connection with higher algebraic K-theory, and some recent progress. |
