ALGEBRAIC K-THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Proceedings of the Workshop and Symposium
ICTP, Trieste, Italy 1 - 19 September 1997

edited by H Bass (Columbia University), A O Kuku (ICTP, Trieste) & C Pedrini (University of Genova)

The Proceedings volume is divided into two parts. The first part consists of lectures given during the first two weeks devoted to a workshop featuring state-of-the-art expositions on 'Overview of Algebraic K-theory' including various constructions, examples, and illustrations from algebra, number theory, algebraic topology, and algebraic/differential geometry; as well as on more concentrated topics involving connections of K-theory with Galois, etale, cyclic, and motivic (co)homologies; values of zeta functions, and Arithmetics of Chow groups and zero cycles. The second part consists of research papers arising from the symposium lectures in the third week.
