Classical algebraic K-theory Semester SoSe 2024
Lecturer Daniel Schäppi
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
German title Klassische algebraische K-Theorie
Contents The low dimensional algebraic K-groups are built from vector bundles (over a scheme) or projective modules (over an affine scheme) and their automorphisms. Rather than trying to understand vector bundles directly, one forms a ring consisting of vector bundles up to a suitable equivalence relation. There are also higher K-groups, but in this course we will restrict attention to the first three K-groups (which were defined much earlier than the others). The goal is to prove the Bass Fundamental Theorem which establishes a relationship between these K-groups on polynomial and Laurent polynomial extensions.
