K-theory of singularities
Abstract: Algebraic K-theory is an invariant of rings and algebraic
varieties that is very hard to compute even in the simplest cases, for
example, for fields. However, parts of this invariant can be understood
for singular varieties, yielding both geometric and algebraic information
about the singularity. In this talk, I will try to give a flavor of the
approach used to obtain recent results in this direction.
