Speaker: Professor Andrew Ranicki (Edinburgh)

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Wed 13th December 2006

Location: Mathematical Sciences Teaching Room

Abstract
The talk will survey the algebraic K- and L-theory of the noncommutative Cohn localizations of rings, and the applications to the topology of non-simply-connected manifolds.
