Forschungsseminar über Motive-SS 2015

Meeting time and place:

We meet on Tuesdays,14-16 Uhr (c.t.), in WSC-S-U-3.01

Program

This semester we will hold a seminar on notions of rationality of algebraic varieties, and related topics, such as aspects of the integral Hodge conjecture, unramified cohomology, . Here is an preliminary outline:
