Other kinds of equivalence relations on the set of idempotents of a Banach or $C^*$-algebra or a ring (Can we get a new kind of K-theory?)
The standard equivalent relations on idempotents of a $C^*$ algebra or a Banach algebra are Murray von Neumann, similarity and homotopy equivalent. In this post we consider two other kinds of ...

A generalized K- theory via generalized idempotents
Edit After the answer by Neil Strickland, I add the word "a ring" in this new version.
In the literature, there is a concept of generalized idempotent: an n- idempotent is an element $a$ of a Banach ...
