"Algebraic cobordism theory".


I plan to talk about the Algebraic Cobordism Theory introduced by F.Morel and M.Levine.

1. Oriented Borel-Moore functors.
2. Definition of algebraic cobordism.
3. Localization, homotopy invariance, projective bundle formula.
4. The cobordism ring of a point. Lazard ring.
5. Generalized degree formula.
6. Algebraic cobordism and algebraic K-theory.
7. Algebraic cobordism and Chow groups.

"Period-index problem for central simple algebras over function fields of surfaces, d'après de Jong."



In these lectures we shall discuss the proof of Let k be an algebraically closed field and K a function field in two variables over k. Then for every central simple algebra A over K whose exponent is coprime to the characteristic of k, the index of A coincides with the exponent of A.
