K-theory of finite fields
Semester
SoSe 2019

Lecturer
Denis-Charles Cisinski

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

Contents
We will study Quillen's computation of the algebraic K-theory of finite fields. This is a beautiful instance of application of homotopy theory to arithmetic. No prior knowledge of algebraic K-theory is required, although some background in algebraic topology, in particular regarding simplicial methods, will be helpful.
