In this paper we study the $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariance of the unstable functor $\mathrm{K}_2(\Phi, R)$ in the case when $\Phi$ is an irreducible root system of type $\mathsf{ADE}$ containing $\mathsf{A}_4$ and not of type $\mathsf{E}_8$. We…

Let G be reductive algebraic group over a field k, such that every semisimple normal subgroup of G has isotropic rank >=2. Let K_1^G be the non-stable K_1-functor associated to G (also called the Whitehead group of G in the field case). We…

We show that algebraizability of the functors $R^1\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ and $R^2\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ is a stable birational invariant for smooth and proper varieties $\pi:X\rightarrow k$ defined over an algebraic extension $k$ of…

We apply the techniques developed by I. Panin for the proof of the equicharacteristic case of the Serre-Grothendieck conjecture for isotropic reductive groups (I. Panin, A. Stavrova, N. Vavilov, 2015; I. Panin, 2019) to obtain similar…

We prove the centrality of $\mathrm{K}_2 (\mathsf{F}_4, \,R)$ for an arbitrary commutative ring $R$. This completes the proof of the centrality of $\mathrm K_2(\Phi,\, R)$ for any root system $\Phi$ of rank $\geq 3$. Our proof uses only…

We establish axiomatic characterizations of $K$-theory and $KK$-theory for real C*-algebras. In particular, let $F$ be an abelian group-valued functor on separable real C*-algebras. We prove that if $F$ is homotopy invariant, stable, and…

Let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Spec}(A)$ be a finite and flat group scheme over the ring of algebraic integers $R$ of a number field $K$ and suppose that the generic fiber of $\mathcal{G}$ is the constant group scheme over $K$ for a finite group…

We consider functors from the category of locally convex algebras to abelian groups and prove invariance under smooth homotopies for weakly J-stable algebras, where J is a harmonic operator ideal. This applies in particular to negative…

We investigate stability properties of the reductive Borel-Serre categories; these were introduced as a model for unstable algebraic K-theory in previous work. We see that they exhibit better homological stability properties than the…

For a root system $\Phi$ of type $E_l$ and arbitrary commutative ring $R$ we show that the group $K_2(\Phi, R)$ is contained in the centre of the Steinberg group $St(\Phi, R)$. In course of the proof we also demonstrate an analogue of…

Given a real algebraic group $G$ acting on a linear space $V$, a vector $v\in V$ is called unstable if $0\in \overline{Gv}-Gv$, where the closure is taken with respect to the Zariski topology. A fundamental theorem of Kempf in geometric…

We compute the kernel of the stabilization map for $K_1$-functors modeled on split Chevalley groups of types $B_l, C_l, E_l$ one step below the stable range. For the groups of type $B_l$ this implies early injective stability for $K_1(B_l,…

For a field K, rational function phi in K(z) of degree at least two, and alpha in P^1(K), we study the polynomials in K[z] whose roots are given by the solutions to phi^n(z) = alpha, where phi^n denotes the nth iterate of phi. When the…

We give a purely algebro-geometric proof that if the alpha-invariant of a Q-Fano variety X is greater than dim X/(dim X+1), then (X,O(-K_X)) is K-stable. The key of our proof is a relation among the Seshadri constants, the alpha-invariant…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

Let $q$ be a prime with $q \equiv 7 \mod 8$, and let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$. Then $2$ splits in $K$, and we write $\mathfrak{p}$ for either of the primes $K$ above $2$. Let $K_\infty$ be the unique $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of $K$…

We give a classification of Gorenstein Fano bi-equivariant compactifications of semisimple complex Lie groups with rank two, and determine which of them are equivariant K-stable and admit (singular) K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics. As a…

In this paper we define K-theoretic secondary invariants attached to a Lie groupoid $G$. The K-theory of $C^*_r(G_{ad}^0)$ (where $G_{ad}^0$ is the adiabatic deformation $G$ restricted to the interval $[0,1)$) is the receptacle for…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $\mathcal{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. We introduce the category $\overline{\mathcal{F}_{Rpp_k}}$ of…

Let $G$ be a finite group with given subgroups $H$ and $K$. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible complex representation of $G$ such that its space of $H$-invariant vectors as well as the space of $K$-invariant vectors are both one dimensional. Let…
