What is decategorification?
Taking loops (or, in categorical language, endomorphisms of the monoidal unit) is commonly seen as a type of decategorification.
For example, decategorifying von Neumann algebras produces Hilbert spac …

Can one bypass the geometric realization in the definition of algebraic $K$-theory?
I believe there is no good notion of homotopy groups for an arbitrary simplicial set S.
It depends on what “good” means.
Kan's original definition works for arbitrary pointed simplicial sets: $$\def …

A question on the ring structure of topological K-theory and Chern character
The product of $K^{−1}$ with itself can be defined by identifying $K^{−1}(X)$
with $K^0(X\wedge S^1)$ using the suspension isomorphism, multiplying the resulting two elements of $K^0(X\wedge S^1)$, o …

Invertibility of element in $K(X)$
Yes. Any rank zero element x in K(X) is nilpotent by https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/virtual%20vector%20bundle, hence 1+x is invertible.

Reference for $E_{\infty}$-ness of the Chern Character
The answer really depends on one's desired choice of definitions for KU, HQ, and the Chern character itself;
some definitions allow one to produce a very short definition of the Chern character as an …

K-theory of non-compact spaces
What exactly does 3. describe? Are these virtual vector bundles that admit numerable trivializations?
Virtual vector bundles, when defined as formal differences (i.e.,

What are surprising examples of Model Categories?
Here is an example that surprised me at some time in the past.
Bisson and Tsemo introduce a nontrivial model structure on the topos of directed graphs.
Here a directed graph is simply a $4$-tuple $(V, …
