       Title: Equivariant algebraic K-theory

     Abstract: Algebraic K-theory is a rich invariant of rings with connections to geometric topology,
       algebraic geometry, and number theory. Despite the importance of K-theory computations remain
       difficult in this field. Recently, there has been growing interest in equivariant algebraic K-theory, a
       refinement of K-theory for rings with an action by a finite group. The key idea is that we can obtain
       computational leverage by exploiting the symmetries encoded by a group action. In this talk, I will
       give an overview of algebraic K-theory and its applications, and discuss some work on building up
       the theory of equivariant algebraic K-theory, as well as some computations.
