Higher Scissors Congruence and K-Theory of Covers

Explore the mathematical connections between higher scissors congruence and K-theory of covers in this 42-minute conference talk delivered by Anna Marie Bohmann from Vanderbilt University at the Fields Institute. Delve into advanced topics in algebraic topology as part of the Algebraic Topology Interactions series, examining how scissors congruence principles extend to higher-dimensional settings and their relationship to K-theoretic invariants of covering spaces. Gain insights into cutting-edge research that bridges geometric decomposition problems with algebraic topology, suitable for graduate students and researchers working in algebraic topology, K-theory, or related areas of mathematics.
