homotopy groups for good rings

Perhaps an easier approach if you wanted to avoid going into the world of schemes would be to define orthogonal, symplectic, and unitary matrices over $R$ in analogy with the case when $R=\mathbb{C}$. …

Representing KO-theory using Clifford algebras

I learned about this in a course taught by Mark Hovey, but we didn't use a book and his lecture notes are not available online. As I recall, you first understand how the signature of a quadratic form …

Why is the flat cotorsion pair actually a cotorsion pair?

The proof is given on page 3 of Mark Hovey's paper "Cotorsion Pairs and Model Categories" http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~bshipley/hovey.pdf After writing "It is not at all obvious that this is a coto …

Do limits in Waldhausen categories commute with ordinary limits?

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, the answer is yes. Your second way of defining limits, via "the universal property of a diagram with some arrows in $\mathcal{F}$," is actually a special cas …

How to define an equivariant Kasparov's KK-theory map?

Isn't this treated in Claude Schochet's 1992 paper "On Equivariant Kasparov Theory and Spanier-Whitehead Duality"? Also, if you want more references, I'd recommend using Google Scholar to see who cite …

If $A$ is a cofibrant commutative dg-algebra over a commutative ring of characteristic $0$, ...

Fernando's answer tells you how to prove the statement directly. Alternatively, if you want a reference, this is proven in Corollary 3.6 of my PhD thesis paper (published in JPAA) Model Structures on …

Mapping cone and derived tensor product

The comment by skd basically answers your question. I am writing to flesh it out with references, so your question doesn't stay open forever. The derived category of $I$-complete $A$-modules has recen …

Short exact sequences every mathematician should know

Short exact sequences form a bridge of sorts between homological algebra and representation theory. For example, Maschke's theorem is the statement that, if $G$ is a finite group and $k$ is a field wh …

Short exact sequences every mathematician should know

An example of a short exact sequence satisfying your first desiderata, but one which you probably won't fully understand till you are further along in homological algebra, is the Universal Coefficient …

Short exact sequences every mathematician should know

I guess the quintessential example, satisfying your second desiderata, is $$ 0 \rightarrow A \stackrel{f}{\rightarrow} B \rightarrow B/f(A) \rightarrow 0. $$ For example, if $f = \mu_n: \mathbb{Z} \to …

Model structures on the category of unbounded chain complexes

The literature about constructing model structures on abelian categories has grown significantly since Hovey's book came out. In particular, there is now a connection between this process and cotorsio …

Survey of Algebraic K-Theory Since 1980?

I recommend the Handbook of K-theory. It was published in 2005 and Part II seems to contain what you're looking for.

Is there a notion of injective, projective, flat, dimension for a differential graded algebra?

The answer is yes, this theory has been worked out. As a topologist, my favorite reference is Christensen-Hovey "Quillen model structures for relative homological algebra," which works in extreme gene …

Is every dg-coalgebra the colimit of its finite dimensional dg-subcoalgebras?

Yes. The category of $\mathbb{Z}$-coalgebras is locally presentable, and objects are filtered colimits of finite dimensional subobjects. See the appendix to Coalgebraic models for combinatorial model …

Tensor product of mapping cones

Yes, there is a nice way. The mapping cone $C_i^*$ is the homotopy pushout of $\ast \gets A_i^* \to B_i^*$, and $-\otimes X$ is a monoidal left Quillen functor (symmetric if the underlying ring is com …
