Algebraic Geometry Seminar: "Cohomology of arithmetic groups and motivic cohomology"
Speaker: Kartik Prasanna, University of Michigan
Abstract: I will discuss the conjecture in my paper with Venkatesh on "Automorphic cohomology, motivic cohomology and the adjoint L-function", which relates the cohomology of arithmetic groups to motivic cohomology. Specifically, I will spend some time motivating the main conjecture, and then discuss some evidence towards it.
