Paul-Arne Østvær: A^1-contractible varieties
Time: Wed 2017-03-22 13.15 - 14.15
Location: Room 306, Kräftriket, SU
Participating: Paul-Arne Østvær, University of Oslo
We'll discuss A^1 homotopy theory and examples of varieties that are contractible in this setting. For motivation we review background from affine algebraic geometry and topology.
