Vladimir Voevodsky Memorial Conference

On the proof of the conservativity conjecture
11:30am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: I will review the strategy of the proof of the conservativity conjecture for the classical realisations of Voevodsky motives over a characteristic zero fields. I will also mention some other consequences of this proof such as the...

Univalence from a computer science point-of-view
Dan Licata
9:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: One formal system for Voevodsky's univalent foundations is Martin-Löf's type theory. This type theory is the basis of proof assistants, such as Agda, Coq, and NuPRL, that are used not only for the formalization of mathematics, but in...

Vladimir Voevodsky Memorial Conference

A search for an algebraic equivalence analogue of motivic theories
Eric Friedlander
4:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: We reflect on mathematical efforts made years ago, initiated by Blaine Lawson and much influenced by Vladimir Voevodsky's work. In work with Lawson, Mazur, Walker, Suslin, and Haesemyer, a "semi-topological theory" for cohomology and K...

Even spaces and motivic resolutions
Michael Hopkins
11:30am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: In 1973 Steve Wilson proved the remarkable theorem that the even spaces in the loop spectrum for complex cobordism have cell decompositions with only even dimensional cells. The (conjectural) analogue of this in motivic homotopy theory...

Towards elementary infinity-toposes
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: Toposes were invented by Grothendieck to abstract properties of categories of sheaves, but soon Lawvere and Tierney realized that the elementary (i.e. "finitary" or first-order) properties satisfied by Grothendieck's toposes were precisely...

Isotropic motivic category
4:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: It was observed for a while (at least, since the times of E.Witt) that the notion of anisotropy of an algebraic variety (that is, the absence of points of degree prime to a given p on it) plays an important role (most notably, in the...

Voevodsky proof of Milnor and Bloch-Kato conjectures
Alexander Merkurjev
2:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: I will discuss main ideas and steps in the proof of Milnor and Bloch-Kato Conjectures given by Voevodsky .
