Milnor K-theory is a branch of algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory that deals with the study of fields and schemes using techniques from both algebra and geometry. It was introduced by the mathematician John Milnor in the 1970s and is particularly concerned with higher K-groups of fields, which can be thought of as measuring certain algebraic invariants of fields.
