Algebraic cobordism is a cohomology theory in algebraic geometry that emerges from the study of algebraic cycles and their intersections. It provides a space to study algebraic varieties in a manner similar to how bordism theories function in topology. The notion of cobordism in algebraic geometry can be understood as a way to classify algebraic varieties (or schemes) through the idea of "cobordism classes" that respect certain algebraic operations and relations.
