A geometric generalization of contraction theory called~$k$-contraction was recently developed using $k$-compound matrices. In this note, we focus on the relations between $k$-contraction and two other generalized contraction frameworks:…

We build on previous work on multirings (\cite{roberto2021quadratic}) that provides generalizations of the available abstract quadratic forms theories (special groups and real semigroups) to the context of multirings…

We consider the algebraic K-theory of a truncated polynomial algebra in several commuting variables, K(k[x_1, ..., x_n]/(x_1^a_1, ..., x_n^a_n)). This naturally leads to a new generalization of the big Witt vectors. If k is a perfect field…

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…

Given a small category C, we show that there is a universal way of expanding C into a model category, essentially by formally adjoining homotopy colimits. The technique of localization becomes a method for imposing `relations' into these…

This paper sets out basic properties of motivic twisted K-theory with respect to degree three motivic cohomology classes of weight one. Motivic twisted K-theory is defined in terms of such motivic cohomology classes by taking pullbacks…

Generalized differential cohomology theories, in particular differential K-theory (often called "smooth K-theory"), are becoming an important tool in differential geometry and in mathematical physics. In this survey, we describe the…

We present a quick approach to computing the $K$-theory of the category of locally compact modules over any order in a semisimple $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra. We obtain the $K$-theory by first quotienting out the compact modules and subsequently…

We introduce a version of algebraic $K$-theory for coefficient systems of rings which is valued in genuine $G$-spectra for a finite group $G$. We use this construction to build a genuine $G$-spectrum $K_G(\mathbb{Z}[\underline{\pi_1(X)}])$…

In \cite{tva}, Bertrand Toen and Michel Vaquie defined a scheme theory for a closed monoidal category $(C,\otimes,1)$. In this article, we define a notion of smoothness in this relative (and not necesarilly additive) context which…

It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher-form symmetries. As a consequence, they should be broken or gauged in any…

Equivariant $K$-theory is a generalized equivariant cohomology theory which is a hybrid of the $K$-theory of a topological space and the representation theory of the group acting on it. In this article, we review the basics of equivariant…

We provide a framework for abstract reconstruction problems using the $K$-theory of categories with covering families, which we then apply to reformulate the edge reconstruction conjecture in graph theory. Along the way, we state some…

We propose that generalized symmetries in some string-constructed QFTs are given by K-theory. We thus have \textit{even-form} and \textit{odd-form} symmetries determined by $K_N(\partial X)$, the twisted K-theory as D-brane charges on the…

We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…

We use Gromov's K--area to define a generalized homology theory on compact smooth manifolds. In fact, this theory collects obstructions to the enlargeability of the manifold and its nontrivial submanifolds. Moreover, using the K--area…
