Abstract
The Milnor conjecture relates the mod 2 Milnor K-theory of a field and the fundamental ideal of the Witt group of symmetric forms over that field. The conjecture was proved by Kato for fields of characteristic 2, and by Orlov-Vishik-Voevodsky in all other characteristics, and was at the heart of Voevodsky’s development of motivic homotopy theory. The first part of the talk will give a basic overview of the objects involved in this result, and of their relationship to trace maps in algebraic K-theory. We will then, via a questionable interpretation of the Minor conjecture via equivariant homotopy theory, formulate an analogue of the conjecture for Illusie’s de Rham-Witt complex. This conjecture can then be proved from some explicit calculations of the real topological cyclic homology of fields.
