Motivic Homotopy Theory: Lectures at a Summer School in Nordfjordeid, Norway, August 2002

by Bjorn Ian Dundas, Bjïrn Jahren (Editor), Marc Levine, P.A. ïstvïr, Oliver Rïndigs

Overview

This book is based on lectures given at a summer school on motivic homotopy theory at the Sophus Lie Centre in Nordfjordeid, Norway, in August 2002. Aimed at graduate students in algebraic topology and algebraic geometry, it contains background material from both of these fields, as well as the foundations of motivic homotopy theory. It will serve as a good introduction as well as a convenient reference for a broad group of mathematicians to this important and fascinating new subject. Vladimir Voevodsky is one of the founders of the theory and received the Fields medal for his work, and the other authors have all done important work in the subject.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This research monograph on motivic homotopy theory contains material based on lectures at a summer school at the Sophus Lie Centre in Nordfjordeid, Norway, in August 2002. With a similar scope as the summer school it is aimed at graduate students and researchers in algebraic topology and algebraic geometry. … They provide an excellent introduction as well as a convenient reference for anybody who wants to learn more about this important and fascinating new subject."
