Topology Seminar: Relations amongst motivic Hopf maps

  • Date: 03/24/2010
Lecturer(s):
Daniel Dugger (University of Oregon)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Description: 

I will talk about work with Dan Isaksen on the motivic
homotopy groups of spheres, focusing on the story of the Hopf
maps. In classical algebraic topology the Hopf maps generate a
very small and easily computed subring of the stable homotopy ring.

 

The motivic Hopf maps generate a larger ring, and we don't yet know explicity what it is. In the talk I'll describe some of what we do know.

Schedule: 

3:00 - 4:00PM, WMAX 110.
