Forty-seventh meeting of the Transpennine Topology Triangle

Department of Pure Mathematics
University of Sheffield
Tuesday, November 23rd 2004

This will be a working meeting. There will therefore be the usual time for participant discussion. Talks will take place in Room J11, on the sixth floor of the Hicks Building.

Programme

• NOTE THE UNUSUAL START TIME
• 11.30 am: Coffee in I15
  

• 12.00 noon: Jonathan Barker (Southampton)
  ``psi^3 as an upper triangular matrix.''

• 2.00 pm: Constantin Teleman (Cambridge)
  "Toward the Gromov-Witten K-theory of BG"

• 3.00 pm: Tea in I15
  

• 4.00 pm: Frank Neumann (Leicester)
  "On the algebraic K-theory of the category of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra"

Abstracts

Frank Neumann:
Using the Gabriel-Krull filtration, we construct a spectral sequence of homological type converging to the algebraic K-theory of the noetherian objects in the category of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra. This is in direct analogy with the Brown-Gersten-Quillen spectral sequence converging to the algebraic K-theory of a noetherian scheme via the codimension of support filtration.

Anyone who wishes to participate is welcome: we shall operate the usual arrangements for assistance with travel expenses. We expect to assemble for tea and coffee in I15, Floor 5, from 11.00 am until the first talk. Each lecture will take place in Room J11 of the Hicks Building, Hounsfield Road, Sheffield.
Tea and Coffee will be served in the common room I15.
For further information email John Greenlees j.greenlees@sheffield.ac.uk, (or John Hunton jrh7@mcs.le.ac.uk or Nige Ray nige@ma.man.ac.uk) if you are interested, so we can make approximately the right amount of tea and coffee.
