Algebraic K-theory of spaces
Aims and Description
A workshop on Algebraic K-theory of spaces and related topics will be held at the University of Regensburg, during July 24-28, 2023.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the field, review aspects of the deep interactions between algebraic K-theory and manifold topology,
and discuss developments in the field, especially, from the perspective of the Waldhausen’s algebraic K-theory of spaces and its diverse connections, both with
the study of structured ring spectra and their invariants and of automorphisms of manifolds, using a variety of different homotopy-theoretic and geometric methods.
There will be lecture series by
- Gregory Arone (Stockholm University)
- John Klein (Wayne State University)
- Manuel Krannich (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
- Cary Malkiewich (Binghamton University)
- Mona Merling (University of Pennsylvania)
- Wolfgang Steimle (University of Augsburg)
- Marco Varisco (University at Albany, State University of New York)
In addition to the lecture series, there will also be opportunities for researchers to give contributed talks.
