Colloquium: Akhil Mathew (University of Chicago)

The University of Chicago Department of Mathematics presents a talk given by Akhil Mathew titled "Algebraic K-theory, Traces, and Arithmetic."

Abstract:
The connections between l-adic algebraic K-theory and \'etale cohomology have played a central role in the development of the former. In the p-adic context, a key computational tool is the cyclotomic trace to topological cyclic homology, which has close connections to prismatic cohomology. I will describe some aspects of the p-adic picture.
