Cycling in Cambridge

SEMINARS: HARVARD-MIT ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY

When: September 19, 2023
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Where: MIT, Room 2-132
Speaker: Elden Elmanto - University of Toronto

I spent most of my time here cycling (or is it biking?) and thinking about algebraic cycles from a homotopical viewpoint. I will speak about the latter. In joint work with Matthew Morrow, we developed a theory of motivic cohomology of schemes beyond the case of smooth schemes over a field. I will explain the cycle-theoretic aspects of this construction, focusing on the case of surfaces, revisiting older results of Krishna and Srinivas.
