This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a coherent account of the current status of etale homotopy theory, a topological theory introduced into abstract algebraic geometry by M. Artin and B. Mazur. Eric M. Friedlander presents many of his own applications of this theory to algebraic topology, finite Chevalley groups, and algebraic geometry. Of particular interest are the discussions concerning the Adams Conjecture, K-theories of finite fields, and Poincare duality. Because these applications have required repeated modifications of the original formulation of etale homotopy theory, the author provides a new treatment of the foundations which is more general and more precise than previous versions. One purpose of this book is to offer the basic techniques and results of etale homotopy theory to topologists and algebraic geometers who may then apply the theory in their own work. With a view to such future applications, the author has introduced a number of new constructions (function complexes, relative homology and cohomology, generalized cohomology) which have immediately proved applicable to algebraic K-theory.
Download or read book Homotopy Theory and Arithmetic Geometry Motivic and Diophantine Aspects written by Frank Neumann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to state-of-the-art applications of homotopy theory to arithmetic geometry. The contributions to this volume are based on original lectures by leading researchers at the LMS-CMI Research School on ‘Homotopy Theory and Arithmetic Geometry - Motivic and Diophantine Aspects’ and the Nelder Fellow Lecturer Series, which both took place at Imperial College London in the summer of 2018. The contribution by Brazelton, based on the lectures by Wickelgren, provides an introduction to arithmetic enumerative geometry, the notes of Cisinski present motivic sheaves and new cohomological methods for intersection theory, and Schlank’s contribution gives an overview of the use of étale homotopy theory for obstructions to the existence of rational points on algebraic varieties. Finally, the article by Asok and Østvær, based in part on the Nelder Fellow lecture series by Østvær, gives a survey of the interplay between motivic homotopy theory and affine algebraic geometry, with a focus on contractible algebraic varieties. Now a major trend in arithmetic geometry, this volume offers a detailed guide to the fascinating circle of recent applications of homotopy theory to number theory. It will be invaluable to research students entering the field, as well as postdoctoral and more established researchers.
Download or read book Knots and Primes written by Masanori Morishita and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a foundation for arithmetic topology - a new branch of mathematics which is focused upon the analogy between knot theory and number theory. Starting with an informative introduction to its origins, namely Gauss, this text provides a background on knots, three manifolds and number fields. Common aspects of both knot theory and number theory, for instance knots in three manifolds versus primes in a number field, are compared throughout the book. These comparisons begin at an elementary level, slowly building up to advanced theories in later chapters. Definitions are carefully formulated and proofs are largely self-contained. When necessary, background information is provided and theory is accompanied with a number of useful examples and illustrations, making this a useful text for both undergraduates and graduates in the field of knot theory, number theory and geometry.

Download or read book Lecture Notes on Motivic Cohomology written by Carlo Mazza and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of a motive is an elusive one, like its namesake "the motif" of Cezanne's impressionist method of painting. Its existence was first suggested by Grothendieck in 1964 as the underlying structure behind the myriad cohomology theories in Algebraic Geometry. We now know that there is a triangulated theory of motives, discovered by Vladimir Voevodsky, which suffices for the development of a satisfactory Motivic Cohomology theory. However, the existence of motives themselves remains conjectural. This book provides an account of the triangulated theory of motives. Its purpose is to introduce Motivic Cohomology, to develop its main properties, and finally to relate it to other known invariants of algebraic varieties and rings such as Milnor K-theory, etale cohomology, and Chow groups. The book is divided into lectures, grouped in six parts. The first part presents the definition of Motivic Cohomology, based upon the notion of presheaves with transfers. Some elementary comparison theorems are given in this part. The theory of (etale, Nisnevich, and Zariski) sheaves with transfers is developed in parts two, three, and six, respectively. The theoretical core of the book is the fourth part, presenting the triangulated category of motives. Finally, the comparison with higher Chow groups is developed in part five. The lecture notes format is designed for the book to be read by an advanced graduate student or an expert in a related field. The lectures roughly correspond to one-hour lectures given by Voevodsky during the course he gave at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton on this subject in 1999-2000. In addition, many of the original proofs have been simplified and improved so that this book will also be a useful tool for research mathematicians. Information for our distributors: Titles in this series are copublished with the Clay Mathematics Institute (Cambridge, MA).

This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seminal ‘MIT notes’ of Dennis Sullivan were issued in June 1970 and were widely circulated at the time.

Download or read book Algebraic Homotopy written by Hans J. Baues and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-02-16 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a general outlook on homotopy theory; fundamental concepts, such as homotopy groups and spectral sequences, are developed from a few axioms and are thus available in a broad variety of contexts. Many examples and applications in topology and algebra are discussed, including an introduction to rational homotopy theory in terms of both differential Lie algebras and De Rham algebras. The author describes powerful tools for homotopy classification problems, particularly for the classification of homotopy types and for the computation of the group homotopy equivalences. Applications and examples of such computations are given, including when the fundamental group is non-trivial. Moreover, the deep connection between the homotopy classification problems and the cohomology theory of small categories is demonstrated. The prerequisites of the book are few: elementary topology and algebra. Consequently, this account will be valuable for non-specialists and experts alike. It is an important supplement to the standard presentations of algebraic topology, homotopy theory, category theory and homological algebra.
Download or read book Local Homotopy Theory written by John F. Jardine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph on the homotopy theory of topologized diagrams of spaces and spectra gives an expert account of a subject at the foundation of motivic homotopy theory and the theory of topological modular forms in stable homotopy theory. Beginning with an introduction to the homotopy theory of simplicial sets and topos theory, the book covers core topics such as the unstable homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves and sheaves, localized theories, cocycles, descent theory, non-abelian cohomology, stacks, and local stable homotopy theory. A detailed treatment of the formalism of the subject is interwoven with explanations of the motivation, development, and nuances of ideas and results. The coherence of the abstract theory is elucidated through the use of widely applicable tools, such as Barr's theorem on Boolean localization, model structures on the category of simplicial presheaves on a site, and cocycle categories. A wealth of concrete examples convey the vitality and importance of the subject in topology, number theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic K-theory. Assuming basic knowledge of algebraic geometry and homotopy theory, Local Homotopy Theory will appeal to researchers and advanced graduate students seeking to understand and advance the applications of homotopy theory in multiple areas of mathematics and the mathematical sciences.
Download or read book Weil s Conjecture for Function Fields written by Dennis Gaitsgory and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central concern of number theory is the study of local-to-global principles, which describe the behavior of a global field K in terms of the behavior of various completions of K. This book looks at a specific example of a local-to-global principle: Weil’s conjecture on the Tamagawa number of a semisimple algebraic group G over K. In the case where K is the function field of an algebraic curve X, this conjecture counts the number of G-bundles on X (global information) in terms of the reduction of G at the points of X (local information). The goal of this book is to give a conceptual proof of Weil’s conjecture, based on the geometry of the moduli stack of G-bundles. Inspired by ideas from algebraic topology, it introduces a theory of factorization homology in the setting l-adic sheaves. Using this theory, Dennis Gaitsgory and Jacob Lurie articulate a different local-to-global principle: a product formula that expresses the cohomology of the moduli stack of G-bundles (a global object) as a tensor product of local factors. Using a version of the Grothendieck-Lefschetz trace formula, Gaitsgory and Lurie show that this product formula implies Weil’s conjecture. The proof of the product formula will appear in a sequel volume.
Download or read book The Regulators of Beilinson and Borel written by José Ignacio Burgos Gil and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a complete proof of the fact that Borel's regulator map is twice Beilinson's regulator map. The strategy of the proof follows the argument sketched in Beilinson's original paper and relies on very similar descriptions of the Chern-Weil morphisms and the van Est isomorphism. The book has two different parts. The first one reviews the material from algebraic topology and Lie group theory needed for the comparison theorem. Topics such as simplicial objects, Hopfalgebras, characteristic classes, the Weil algebra, Bott's Periodicity theorem, Lie algebra cohomology, continuous group cohomology and the van Est Theorem are discussed. The second part contains the comparison theorem and the specific material needed in its proof, such as explicit descriptions of theChern-Weil morphism and the van Est isomorphisms, a discussion about small cosimplicial algebras, and a comparison of different definitions of Borel's regulator.

Download or read book Beilinson s Conjectures on Special Values of L Functions written by M. Rapoport and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beilinson's Conjectures on Special Values of L-Functions deals with Alexander Beilinson's conjectures on special values of L-functions. Topics covered range from Pierre Deligne's conjecture on critical values of L-functions to the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology, along with the Beilinson conjecture for algebraic number fields and Riemann-Roch theorem. Beilinson's regulators are also compared with those of Émile Borel. Comprised of 10 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the Beilinson conjectures and the theory of Chern classes from higher k-theory. The "simplest" example of an L-function is presented, the Riemann zeta function. The discussion then turns to Deligne's conjecture on critical values of L-functions and its connection to Beilinson's version. Subsequent chapters focus on the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology; ?-rings and Adams operations in algebraic k-theory; Beilinson conjectures for elliptic curves with complex multiplication; and Beilinson's theorem on modular curves. The book concludes by reviewing the definition and properties of Deligne homology, as well as Hodge-D-conjecture. This monograph should be of considerable interest to researchers and graduate students who want to gain a better understanding of Beilinson's conjectures on special values of L-functions.
