Attitudes of $K$-theory

Topological K-theory of Algebraic K-theory Spectra

One of the central problems of algebraic K-theory is to compute the K-groups KX of a scheme X. Since these groups are, by definition, the homotopy groups of a spectrum KX, it makes sense to analyze the homotopy-type of the spectrum, rather than just the disembodied homotopy groups. In addition to facilitating the computation of the K-groups themselves, knowledge of the spectrum KX can be applie...

Twisted K-theory and K-theory of Bundle Gerbes

In this note we introduce the notion of bundle gerbe K-theory and investigate the relation to twisted K-theory. We provide some examples. Possible applications of bundle gerbe K-theory to the classification of D-brane charges in nontrivial backgrounds are briefly discussed.

Algebraic K-Theory and the Conjectural Leibniz K-Theory

The analogy between algebraic K-theory and cyclic homology is used to build a program aiming at understanding the algebraic K-theory of fields and the periodicity phenomena in algebraic K-theory. In particular, we conjecture the existence of a Leibniz K-theory which would play the role of Hochschild homology. We propose a motivated presentation for the Leibniz K2-group of a field.
