This is an overview of results from our experiment of merging two seemingly unrelated disciplines - higher algebraic K-theory of rings and the theory of lattice polytopes. The usual K-theory is the ``theory of a unit simplex''. A conjecture…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called (1) $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in every topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a discrete subsemigroup, (2) $ideally$ $\mathcal…

We present a comonadic approach to pretorsion theories on semiexact categories, i.e. categories equipped with a closed ideal of null morphisms that admits all kernels and all cokernels. We first prove that bihereditary pretorsion theories…

Let p be prime number, K be a p-adically closed field, X $\subseteq$ K^m a semi-algebraic set defined over K and L(X) the lattice of semi-algebraic subsets of X which are closed in X. We prove that the complete theory of L(X) eliminates the…

We provide a homotopy theorist's point of view on $KK$- and $E$-theory for $C^{*}$-algebras. We construct stable $\infty$-categories representing these theories through a sequence of Dwyer-Kan localizations of the category of…

We prove a result about the non-existence of certain sums-of-squares formulas over a field. This generalizes an old theorem which used topological K-theory to obtain obstruction conditions when the field is the real numbers. Our result…

We state and prove a new closure theorem closely related to the classical closure theorems of Poncelet and Steiner. Along the way, we establish a number of theorems concerning conic sections.

For any semiring, the concept of k-congruences is introduced, criteria for k-congruences are established, it is proved that there is an inclusion-preserving bijection between k-congruences and k-ideals, and an equivalent condition for the…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called $absolutely$ $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if for any homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$, the image $h[X]$ is closed in $Y$. Let…

This paper examines and strengthens the Cuntz-Thomsen picture of equivariant Kasparov theory for arbitrary second-countable locally compact groups, in which elements are given by certain pairs of cocycle representations between C*-dynamical…

We give a general formula for the equivariant complex $K$-theory $K_G^*(V)$ of a finite dimensional real linear space $V$ equipped with a linear action of a compact group $G$ in terms of the representation theory of a certain double cover…

A dependent theory is a (first order complete theory) T which does not have the independence property. A main result here is: if we expand a model of T by the traces on it of sets definable in a bigger model then we preserve its being…

If $X$ is a closure space with closure $K$, we consider the semilattice $(\mathcal P(X), \cup)$ endowed with further relations $ x \sqsubseteq y_1, y_2, \dots, y_n$ (a distinct $n+1$-ary relation for each $n \geq 1$), whose interpretation…

K-theory provides a framework for classifying Ramond-Ramond (RR) charges and fields. K-theory of manifolds has a natural extension to K-theory of noncommutative algebras, such as the algebra considered in noncommutative Yang-Mills theory or…

We review various K-theory classification conjectures in string theory. Sen conjecture based proposals classify D-brane trajectories in backgrounds with no H flux, while Freed-Witten anomaly based proposals classify conserved RR charges and…

In this short remark, we explain that two examples of invariance under duality for a localizing invariant $F$ hold purely formally when $F$ is $K$-theory, whereas the general statement for arbitrary localizing invariants does not reduce to…

The Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example for discrete subgroups of Lie groups, virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups, Artin…

We prove some fundamental results like localization, excision, Nisnevich descent and the Mayer-Vietoris property for equivariant regular blow-up for the equivariant K-theory of schemes with an affine group scheme action. We also show that…

Clonoids are sets of finitary functions from an algebra $\mathbb{A}$ to an algebra $\mathbb{B}$ that are closed under composition with term functions of $\mathbb{A}$ on the domain side and with term functions of $\mathbb{B}$ on the codomain…

We give an elementary characterization of those quantaloids Q for which the category Cat(Q) of Q-enriched categories and functors is cartesian closed. We then unify several known cases (previously proven using ad hoc methods) and we give…
