On the algebraic K-theory of singularities
Abstract: Algebraic K-theory is a highly complicated invariant of
algebraic varieties that encodes arithmetic, geometric and algebraic
information. In this talk, I will try to make this distinction
somewhat less vague and explain how to isolate some of
the algebraic and geometric information K-theory provides about
singularities, leading to proofs of various longstanding conjectures
in the subject.
