Motives Seminar-SS 2016
Seminar on algebraic cobordism
Meeting time and place:
We meet on Tuesdays,16-18 Uhr (c.t.), in WSC-S-U-3.05
Program
This semester we will hold a seminar on algebraic cobordism from the point of view of motivic homotopy theory and algebraic geometry.
Schedule
Lecture 1. 19.4. Gabriela Guzman. A review of SH(S) and the construction of MGL: a description of symmetric T-spectra with motivic model structure and a construction of MGL as a symmetric monoid in symmetric T-spectra, see for example [H], [J] and [PPR].
Lecture 2. 26.4./3.5 Maria Yakerson. Universality of MGL-following the paper of Panin-Pimenov-Roendigs [PPR].
Lecture 3. 10.5./17.5 Lorenzo Mantovani. Steenrod operations from Voevodsky’s paper [V]. Mainly we need the structure theorem for H(Z/p)∧H(Z/p) for p prime to the characteristic
Lecture 4. 31.5. Aurélien Rodriguez. Brown representability and Landweber exactness-following the papers of Naumann-Spitzweck [NS] and Naumann-Spitzweck-Ostvar [NSO].
Lecture 5. 7.6. Adeel Khan. MGL and HZ I: the paper of Hoyois [Ho] proving the Hopkins-Morel theorem, part 1.
Lecture 6. 14.6 Andre Chatzistamatiou. MGL and HZ II: the paper of Hoyois [Ho] proving the Hopkins-Morel theorem, part 2.
Lecture 7. 20.6. (Note special Monday meeting) Elden Elmanto. Slices of Landweber exact theories and Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequences-Spitzweck’s paper [S].
Lecture 8. 28.6. Vladimir Sosnilo. Geometric algebraic cobordism: an overview of Levine-Morel algebraic cobordism, the construction, main properties, degree formulas. from [AC]
Lecture 9. 5.7. Federico Binda. Double point cobordism-The paper of Levine-Pandharipande [LP], applications to D-T theory.
Lecture 10.12.7. Toan Nguyen. Ω*=MGL2*,* and generalisations. This is from [L2] and [LT].
Lecture 11. 19.7. ?
For the last lecture, we’ll have to see. We could give additional applications to D-T theory, or look at the equivariant case with applications to geometric representation theory. Or talk about other “unoriented” theories like MSL, MSp. Or you can make other suggestions, just let me know.
