DESCRIPTION:Nikita Semenov (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz)\nThe (g
 eneralized) Rost motives play an important role in the proofs of the celeb
 rated conjectures relating the Galois cohomology and the Milnor K-theory (
 the Milnor and the Bloch-Kato conjectures). It turns out that in small dim
 ensions they can be constructed in a rather elementary way. Moreover\, the
  Rost motives in small dimensions are closely related to such classical st
 ructures in Algebra as the Pfister forms\, octonions\, and exceptional Jor
 dan algebras. Besides from this\, they have an amazing relation to the cla
 ssifying spaces of some algebraic groups.\nIn the talk I am going to give 
 a short introduction to the category of Grothendieck's Chow motives and ex
 plain the concept of the Rost motives.
