Title: Recent Developments in Motivic Cohomology Theory

Abstract:

Motivic cohomology theory is a new cohomology theory for schemes
developed recently by V. Voevodsky, E. Friedlander, M. Levine, the
speaker, and others.  I will try to give a review of recent
developments (as well as unsolved problems) in this field of algebraic
geometry.  Specifically we'll discuss relations of motivic cohomology
to etale cohomology, algebraic K-theory and de Rham-Witt cohomology.
