- I've made my preprint entitled "Weight filtrations in algebraic K-theory"
- available for anonymous ftp in
- math.uiuc.edu:~ftp/pub/papers/grayson/seattle.{tex,dvi}
- This is an expository paper which was delivered at the Motives conference at
- University of Washington in 1991, and is now in final form. Here is the
- first paragraph of the introduction.
-
- The recent search for a motivic cohomology theory for varieties,
- described elsewhere in this volume, has been largely guided by certain
- aspects of the higher algebraic K-theory developed by Quillen in 1972.
- It is the purpose of this article to explain the sense in which the
- previous statement is true, and to explain how it is thought that the
- motivic cohomology groups with rational coefficients arise from
- K-theory through the intervention of the Adams operations. We give a
- basic description of algebraic K-theory and explain how Quillen's idea
- that the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence of topology may have an
- algebraic analogue guides the search for motivic cohomology.
