Negative K-theory, homotopy invariance and regularity
[ Abstract ]
The topic of my talk are two classical conjectures in K-theory:
Weibel's conjecture states that a scheme of dimension d
has no K-groups below degree -d, and Vorst's conjecture
states that homotopy invariance of the K-theory of rings
implies that the ring must be regular.
I will give an easy introduction to the conjectures, and discuss
recent progress.
