We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, matrix-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive K-theory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, kk_*(A,B),…

We compute the group homology, the topological K-theory of the reduced C^*-algebra, the algebraic K-theory and the algebraic L-theory of the group ring of the semi-direct product of the three-dimensional discrete Heisenberg group by Z/4.…

Some formulas and speculations are presented relative to integrable systems and quantum mechanics.

We prove a non-linear version of a theorem of Grayson which is an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebraic $K$-theory and identify the $K$-theory of the endomorphism category over a space $X$ in terms of reduced $K$-theory of a…

This paper introduces a new approach to the study of certain aspects of Galois module theory by combining ideas arising from the study of the Galois structure of torsors of finite group schemes with techniques coming from relative algebraic…

We study (relative) $\mathcal K$-Mittag-Leffler modules as was done in the author's habilitation thesis, rephrase old, unpublished results in terms of definable subcategories, and present newer ones, culminating in a characterization of…

We describe the $K$-ring of a quasi-toric manifold in terms of generators and relations. We apply our results to describe the $K$-ring of Bott-Samelson varieties.

This is a presentation of explicit methods to construct higher local class field theory by using topological K-groups, explicit symbols and a generalization of Neukirch-Hazewinkel's axiomatic approaches. The existence theorem is discussed…

We present the fundamental properties of the K-theory groups of complex vector bundles endowed with actions of magnetic groups. In this work we show that the magnetic equivariant K-theory groups define an equivariant cohomology theory, we…

We explore the relations of twisted K-theory to twisted and untwisted classical cohomology. We construct an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, and describe its differentials rationally as Massey products. We define the twisted Chern…

We investigate modules over "systematic" rings. Such rings are "almost graded" and have appeared under various names in the literature; they are special cases of the G-systems of Grzeszczuk. We analyse their K-theory in the presence of…

We revisit a K-theoretical invariant that was invented by the first author some years ago for studying multiparameter bifurcation of branches of critical points of functionals. Our main aim is to apply this invariant to investigate…

A discussion of fundamental aspects of quantum theory is presented, stressing the essential role of "events". (Abstract by Erhard Seiler -- see afterword)

We study the Z/2-equivariant K-theory of the complement of the complexification of a real hyperplane arrangement. We compute the rational K and KO rings, and give two different combinatorial descriptions of the subring of the integral KO…

Using a construction closely related to Waldhausen's $S_\bullet$-construction, we produce a spectrum $K(\mathbf{Var}_{/k})$ whose components model the Grothendieck ring of varieties (over a field $k$) $K_0 (\mathbf{Var}_{/k})$. We then…

We compute the genus of a rational quadratic form in terms of the K-theory of a C*-algebra attached to the adelic orthogonal group of the form. As a corollary, one gets a higher composition law for the rational quadratic forms. As an…

We consider K-theoretic Gromov-Witten theory of root constructions. We calculate some genus $0$ K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of a root gerbe. We also obtain a K-theoretic relative/orbifold correspondence in genus $0$.

This is a review for Elsevier's Encyclopedia of mathematical physics.

In this short note, we revisit Zeilberger's proof of the classical matrix-tree theorem and give a unified concise proof of variants of this theorem, some known and some new.

The main purpose of this survey is to provide an introduction, algebro-topological in nature, to Hirzebuch-type inequalities for plane curve arrangements in the complex projective plane. These inequalities gain more and more interest due to…
