Motivic cohomology has its roots going back to theories of algebraic cycles, including such basic topics as enumerative geometry, intersection theory and theories of adequate equivalence relations such as rational, algebraic and numerical equivalence. Algebraic K-theory, beginning with the study of algebraic vector bundles, is in contrast a more recent development. Through Grothendieck's introduction of the theory of Chern classes of algebraic vector bundles and his Riemann-Roch theorem, the two subjects quite quickly became closely intertwined. At the same time, Grothendieck's introduction of theories of motives of smooth projective varieties formalized the link between algebraic cycles and cohomology theories. The search for an extension of a theory of motives to understand cohomology of non-proper varieties, by Beilinson, Bloch, Deligne, Lichtenbaum and many others, eventually led to Voevodsky's development of a triangulated category of (mixed) motives in the 1990s, which made a crucial paradigm shift from cohomology to homology. Parallel to this, ideas for a corresponding homotopy theory were made precise by the work of Morel and Voevodsky, which opened the field of motivic homotopy theory. In this setting, motivic cohomology and algebraic K-theory (for regular schemes) become merely one of the universe of possible motivic cohomology theories represented by objects in the motivic stable homotopy category.
Voevodsky used the triangulted category of motives and motivic homotopy theory in an essential way in his proof of the Milnor conjecture and his contribution to the proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. After these stunning successes, the field has had a remarkable further development, leading to a better understanding of the relation of algebraic K-theory with motivic cohomology via Voevodsky's slice tower, opening up new applications of the theory of quadratic forms through Morel's identification of the Grothendieck-Witt ring with the endomorphism ring of the motivic sphere spectrum and acquiring powerful new tools through Ayoub's construction of the Grothendieck six functor formalism for the motivic stable homotopy category. These and other technical advances have enabled computations of basic ``structure constants'' of motivic homotopy theory, such as the homotopy groups of motivic spheres in low degree, yielded new results on splitting of vector bundles on affine varieties, as well as giving striking applications to classical homotopy theory through motivic versions of the Adams and Adams-Novikov spectral sequences. Many new cohomology theories for algebraic varieties, such as algebraic cobordism and other flavors of cobordism, such as symplectic or special linear cobordism, have been analyzed and applied. The problem of recognizing when a space is an infinite loop space, a basic problem in classical homotopy theory, has found a remarkable solution in the motivic setting through the theory of framed cobordism.
At the same time, the motivic approach has a serious, built-in limitation: it can only analyze ``A1-homotopy invariant'' phenomena. A generalization of motivic cohomology through the theory of higher Chow groups with modulus seeks to develop a theory that captures interesting non-A1-invariant phenomena. Parallel to this, the algebraic K-theory of non-regular schemes is rarely A1-homotopy invariant and theories which exploit this fact, such as topological Hochschild homology and topological cyclic homology, have seen major developments in the past few years. The K-theory of non-regular schemes occurs quite naturally in trying to understand the K-theory of regular scheme through deformation theory, which introduces nilpotent schemes in an essential way. Although the deformation theory at a finite level is difficult to capture, recent work has shown that in passing to the limit, one can acheive a quite well-behaved theory. This limit approach has also proved useful in many other settings and has led to the resolution of a number of long-standing conjectures on the K-theory of singular varieties.
This workshop will cover all these areas of recent developments in algebraic K-theory, motivic cohomology and motivic homotopy theory.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute.

“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
