Abstract:

Farrell-Jones Conjecture plays an important role in manifold topology. In this talk I will give an overview of the conjecture with special emphasis on the K-theory version. I will first give an gentle introduction to algebraic K-theory and discuss the connections with manifold topology. Then we formulate the conjecture and discuss the status of it. If time permitted, I will also discuss some ideas on proving the conjecture in some special cases.
