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 $K^{et}(X)$. ...

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_{...

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 ...

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 ...

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'\...
