Chromatic Homotopy Theory

This reading group has finished

The aim of this seminar is to give an overall introduction to chromatic homotopy theory, without relying on the theory of stacks, with the goal being to state and understand the significance of some of the big conjectures in this field. A detailed plan for the talks can be found here.
