Discrete module categories and operations in K-theory

Algebraic Topology 2010-10-25 v1 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

We study the categories of discrete modules for topological rings arising as the rings of operations in various kinds of topological K-theory. We prove that for these rings the discrete modules coincide with those modules which are locally finitely generated over the ground ring.
