Algebraic cycles and algebraic K-theory |
Abstract |
Algebraic K-theory has been closely linked to the study of algebraic cycles in algebraic geometry ever since Grothendieck first formulated $K_0^{alg}(X)$. Inspired by algebraic K-theory, Atiyah, Hirzebruch, and Adams quickly followed Grothendieck by first formulating and then applying topological K-theory, $K_{top}^*(T)$. In the past 30 years, algebraic K-theorists have sought applications of their work to algebraic geometry and inspiration from algebraic topology. This lecture will mention some of this historical context before describing much newer results intertwining algebraic K-theory and algebraic cycles using techniques of algebraic topology. |
