The K-group of R-constructible Sheaves

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v8

Abstract

Let Z be a smooth projective manifold. In these notes I will prove that the K-group of R-constructible sheaves is isomorphic to the free abelian group with one generator for each open semialgebraic subset UU (which I will denote by the same letter) modulo the Mayer-Vietoris relations: U + V - U^V - UvV = 0. I will prove it by showing that both groups in question are isomorphic to the group of all integer-valued semialgebraic functions on Z.
