Algebraic K-Theory: Ams-Ims-Siam Joint Summer Research Conference on Algebraic K-Theory, July 13-24, 1997, University of Washington, Seattle

The collection of 13 papers represents the proceedings of the July 1997 conference. The high-level work in algebraic K -theory includes algebraic theory of characteristic classes of bundles with connection, polylogarithmic identities in cubical higher Chow groups, topological cyclic homology of schemes, application of motivic complexes to negligible classes, the Chow ring of a classifying space, and two-primary algebraic K -theory of spaces and related spaces of symmetries of manifolds.
