Der P^1-Freudenthalsche Einhängungssatz

Contents
The Freundenthal suspension theorem in homotopy theory states that the connectivity of the
loop-suspension map X -> Loop(Susp X) is twice as high as the connectivity of X. In motivic
homotopy theory, the algebraic projective line P^1 plays the role of the topological circle S^1, and
the existence of a motivic version of the Freudenthal suspension theorem involving P^1 has been a
natural open question since the beginning of motivic homotopy theory. It was recently resolved by
Asok, Bachmann, and Hopkins. Among other applications, they obtain a proof of Murthy's splitting
conjecture on vector bundles of rank just below the dimension. In this seminar we will go through
the proofs of the P^1-Freudenthal suspension theorem and of Murthy's conjecture.
