Title: Some approaches to a question of Suslin
Abstract: In his Helsinki talk in `1978, Suslin asked if a stably free
module of rank d-1 over an affine algebra of dimension d over an
algebraically closed field is free, Here we discuss this question and
explain why it is true when the affine algebra is non-singular, and when
1/d! is in the base field. This is joint work with Jean Fasel and Richard
Swan.
Chairperson: Satya Mandal, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS.
