Induced map in K-theory by a "trivial" bimodule
Let $R$ be a ring (not necessary commutative) and let $P_{\bullet}$ be a perfect $R$-bimodule (chain complex). I will denote the category of perfect right $R$-chain complexes by $\textbf{Perf}(R)$. ...

Reference for the algebro-geometric proof of Matsumoto theorem
Matsumoto proved in his PhD thesis that if $F$ is a field then $$K_2(F)=(F^*\otimes F^*)/(x\otimes (1-x)).$$
The original Matsumoto proof as it is written in Milnor's book on algebraic K-theory looks ...

Fundamental class in equivariant K-theory
I'm looking for an accessible reference for the definition of the fundamental class in equivariant K-theory.
The setup I'm interested in is the following: suppose $V$ is a vector space equipped with ...

Reference to Chern classes in algebraic k theory
I am reading P. Schneider's paper, Introduction to the Beilinson conjectures. Section 4 in this paper is something very formal about Chern classes. Personally I find some terminologies in the paper a ...

Is this a model for $K$-theory of a triangulated category?
The recent question Complete the following sequence: point, triangle, octahedron, . . . in a dg-category reminded me of something I wanted to clarify long time ago; most likely this is now well known ...

Algebraic K-theory of a ring
I started to learn some algebraic $K$-theory and its relation to geometric topology problems.
My question is: What is the list of rings such that all their algebraic $K$-theory groups are known?
I ...

The 4-th generator of $K_1$ group for 3-dimensional NC tori algebra
An $n$-dimensional NC torus algebra $A_\theta^{(n)}$ is defined for any antisymmetric $n\times n$ matrix $\theta$ of real numbers as the universal $C^*$-algebra, generated by unitaries $U_1,\dots,U_n$,...

The 'most general' papers on rational Borel-Moore motivic homology and K'-theory?
There are two ways to define Borel-Moore motivic homology (of schemes) with rational coefficients: one should either consider certain complexes of algebraic cycles, or the $\gamma$-filtrations of ...

K-Theory space of finite abelian groups
Consider the abelian category $\mathsf{finAb}$ of finite abelian groups. It is easy to prove that there is an isomorphism $\mathrm{ord} : K_0(\mathsf{finAb}) \to \mathbb{Q}^+$. Can you give a ...

K-theory of differential graded modules over differential graded algebras
Suppose you have a smooth vector bundle $E$ over a smooth manifold $X$. If you consider the algebra $ \Omega^\ast (E)$ of differential forms on $E$, it will be homotopy equivalent to the algebra of ...

"Must read" papers in algebraic K-theory?
I'm mainly interested (graduate student) in surgery theory and geometric topology.
If I have a chance to suggest "must read" papers in geometric topology for beginner,
I'm very glad to suggest "...
