Regular exact categories and algebraic K-theory

Abstract

We introduce a new notion of regularity for rings and exact categories and we show important results in algebraic K-theory. In particular we prove a strong vanishing theorem for Nil groups and give an explicit class of groups, much bigger than Waldhausen's class Cl, such that every group in this class has trivial Whitehead groups.
