The Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem and applications

  • Date: 03/26/2008
Lecturer(s):

Damian Roessler (CNRS, Institut de Mathematiques de Jussieu)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

We shall formulate the Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem, which is a
refinement of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem taking into account
torsion. We shall apply the theorem to the de Rham complex. This will
lead to a conjecture on the torsion of the Chern classes of Gauss-Manin
bundles.
