Bott periodicity plays an important role in topological K-theory. The purpose of this paper is to extend the periodicity theorem in a discrete context, where all classical groups are involved and not just the general linear group. The…

We use recent results proved by Berrick and the author (math.KT/0509404) to improve the periodicity theorem in hermitian K-theory. We define also a new filtration of the classical Witt ring W(A), built from non degenerate quadratic forms…

We completely determine the 2-primary torsion subgroups of the hermitian K-groups of rings of 2-integers in totally real 2-regular number fields. The result is almost periodic with period 8. We also identify the homotopy fibers of the…

This paper presents a comparison between two versions of Bott Periodicity Theorems: one in topological K-theory and the other in stable homotopy groups of classical groups. It begins with an introduction to K-theory, discussing vector…

In this paper, we establish periodicity results for higher real $K$-theories at all heights and for all finite subgroups of the Morava stabilizer group at the prime 2. We further analyze the $RO(G)$-periodicity lattice of the height-$h$…

When looking at Bott's original proof of his periodicity theorem for the stable homotopy groups of the orthogonal and unitary groups, one sees in the background a differential geometric periodicity phenomenon. We show that this geometric…

Deformation K-theory associates to each discrete group G a spectrum built from spaces of finite dimensional unitary representations of G. In all known examples, this spectrum is 2-periodic above the rational cohomological dimension of G…

We give a proof of the Bott periodicity theorem for topological K-theory of C*-algebras based on Loring's treatment of Voiculescu's almost commuting matrices and Atiyah's rotation trick. We also explain how this relates to the Dirac…

We provide a geometric model for the classifying space of automorphism groups of Hermitian vector bundles over a ring with involution $R$ such that $\frac{1}{2} \in R$; this generalizes a result of Schlichting-Tripathi \cite{SchTri}. We…

Thomason's \'{e}tale descent theorem for Bott periodic algebraic $K$-theory \cite{aktec} is generalized to any $MGL$ module over a regular Noetherian scheme of finite dimension. Over arbitrary Noetherian schemes of finite dimension, this…

Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…

Using an idea due to R.Thomason, we define a "homology theory" on the category of rings which satisfies excision, exactness, homotopy (in the algebraic sense) and periodicity of order 4. For regular noetherian rings, we find P. Balmer's…

The goal of this article is to explain a precise sense in which Knoerrer periodicity in commutative algebra and Bott periodicity in topological K-theory are compatible phenomena. Along the way, we prove an 8-periodic version of Knoerrer…

We give a proof of Bott periodicity for real graded $C^\ast$-algebras in terms of K- theory and E-theory. Guentner and Higson proved a similar result in the complex graded case but we extend this to cover all graded $C^\ast$-algebras. We…

We show that the hermitian K-theory space of a commutative ring R can be identified, up to A^1-homotopy, with the group completion of the groupoid of oriented finite Gorenstein R-algebras, i.e., finite locally free R-algebras with…

In the framework of fibred cusp operators on a manifold $X$ associated to a boundary fibration $\Phi: \pa X\to Y$, the homotopy groups of the space of invertible smoothing perturbations of the identity are computed in terms of the K-theory…

Let G be a reductive p-adic group, H(G) its Hecke algebra and S(G) its Schwartz algebra. We will show that these algebras have the same periodic cyclic homology. This might be used to provide an alternative proof of the Baum-Connes…

The theme of this paper is to compute hermitian $K$-groups in terms of the recently developed theory of Milnor-Witt motivic cohomology. Our approach makes use of the very effective slice spectral sequence within the motivic stable homotopy…

We state and prove a form of Bott periodicity (for $U(n)$) in an algebraic setting (so, $GL(n)$) which makes sense over $\mathbb{Z}$, which also specializes to Bott periodicity in the usual sense (hence giving yet another proof of classical…

We formulate and prove a Bott periodicity theorem for an $\ell^p$-space ($1\leq p<\infty$). For a proper metric space $X$ with bounded geometry, we introduce a version of $K$-homology at infinity, denoted by $K_*^{\infty}(X)$, and the Roe…
