The head of the research project "Algebraic Morava K-theory"

Abstract: The theme is devoted to the algebraic Morava K-theory, and to the corresponding category of motives. The category of Chow motives was defined by Grothendieck, and since then have been actively studied. However, the theory still have dozens of open problems. On the other hand, the categories of motives can be constructed by any oriented cohomology theory, and, e.g., the category of K_0-motives is much simpler, but it carries less information about the varieties. Morava K-theories K(n) are the series of oriented cohomology theories starting from K_0, and tending to Chow in a certain sense. We study them to get simpler invariants of varieties, then Chow motives, and at the same time carrying more information, then K_0-motives.
