K-Theory, Sheaves, and Geometric Topology

Description

Recent years have seen advances in algebraic K-theory, hermitian K-theory and sheaf theory, with significant applications to questions and problems in geometric topology. This workshop aims to connect researchers interested in these methods and their applications with those who are already using and developing such tools.
