Motivic cohomology

Abstract: Motivic cohomology is the analogue in algebraic geometry of singular cohomology in algebraic topology. The corresponding motivic Borel-Moore homology groups are Bloch's higher Chow groups, which have Chow groups -- algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence -- as special cases. As such, motivic cohomology enjoys close relationship with algebraic K-theory.

We meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, alternating between Penn State Altoona and Penn State University Park. If you are interested in giving a talk in our seminar please contact one of the coordinators for the Fall 2008 semester: Wojtek Dorabiala and Aissa Wade.
