Motivic homotopy theory learning seminar 2022

This seminar aims to cover the basic language and results of motivic homotopy theory, and go over applications depending on the interests of the participants. Some topics that may be touched on include Thom spaces, algebraic K-theory, motivic cohomology, and depending on interest, also algebraic cobordism, enumerative geometry, Milnor-Witt groups, the slice filtration, and six functor formalisms

We are only scheduling a few talks in advance while we go over the basics.
Here are some resources: If you would like to participate, contact Roy Magen.
We meet on Fridays 1:30pm-3:00pm in room 307.
