Algebraic Groups, Motives and Applications

Mathematics | Academic Year 2025/2026

The CAS Research Group “Algebraic Groups, Motives and Applications” is based in motivic algebraic geometry. Its goal is to use and further develop modern tools to investigate the structure of algebraic varieties. In particular, the research group will focus around the investigation of algebraic groups, using different oriented cohomology theories.

The work of the CAS research group is divided into three areas: First, to advance the state of the art in motivic homotopy theory. Second, to prove new results on Chow motives of projective varieties related to algebraic groups, and third, to use the tools from algebraic cobordism and algebraic Morava K-theory.
