Abstract

Cohomology of groups is a fundamental tool in many subjects in modern mathematics. One important generalized cohomology theory is the algebraic K-theory. Indeed, algebraic K-groups of rings are important invariants of the rings and have played important roles in algebra, topology, number theory etc.

In this summer school, several leading experts will give introductions to and surveys of many aspects of cohomology of groups and algebraic K-theory and their broad applications.
