Derived Functors Versus Spectral Sequences

Let $A{\buildrel F\over\rightarrow}B{\buildrel G\over\rightarrow}C$ be additive functors between abelian categories. Hartshorne, in Proposition 5.4 of Residues and Duality, constructs the obvious ...

Where do all these projection formulas come from?

I have been intrigued for a long time by the formal similarity of results from different areas of mathematics. Here are some examples. Set theory Given a map $f:X\to Y$ and subsets $X' \subset X, Y'\...

Why does K-theory need schemes to be Noetherian?

The definition of K-theory of a scheme $X$ is defined as $G_i(X):=K_i(\mathrm{Coh}(X))$ or $K_i(X):=K_i(\mathrm{Vec}(X))$. But usually the schemes are required to be (at least locally) Noetherian, and ...

Understanding the Exercise 9.9.5 of Weibel homological algebra

The exercise 9.9.5 of Weibel's homological algebra states that $\textbf{Exercises 9.9.5}$ If $Z$ is a nilpotent ideal of $R$ and $k$ is a field of $char(k) = 0$, show that $H_{dR}^{\ast}(R) \cong H_{...

Difference between $K(1)$-local K theory and l-adic completion of etale $K$ theory

Let $X$ be an scheme. Fix a prime $l$ which is invertible in $X$. Consider the $K(1)$-localization at prime $l$ of algebraic K theory $L_1K(X)$ and $l$-adic completion of etale K theory $K^{et}(X)$. ...

Applications of Jordan-Holder theorem in an abelian category

The Jordan-Holder theorem says that any chain of subobjects of a finite length object can be refined to a composition series, and that any composition series has the same length. This theorem holds ...
