Introduction to Algebraic K-theory
Semester
WiSe 2026 / 27

Lecturer
Denis-Charles Cisinski

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

German title
Einführung in die algebraische K-Theorie

Contents
The goal of this seminar is to introduce basic concepts of algebraic K-theory. Algebraic K-theory is a general theory of finite measures generalizing the notions of rank of projective modules of finite type and of their determinant. It is at the core of the definition of many fundamental numerical invariants in algebraic geometry, with close relationship with Chow groups and thus with intersection theory, through the theory of Chern classes. The goal of the seminar is to establish on firm ground the basic definitions and prove their universal properties, starting from scratch. The first session of the seminar will be the opportunity to provide a detailed but broad overview. The exact contents of the seminar will be then be adapted to the interests of the audience.
