Equivalents

Examples

“Algebraic cycles are typically studied by imposing one of several equivalence relations. The equivalence relation most relevant for algebraic K-theory is rational equivalence.”

“Algebraic K-theory has two components: the classical theory which centers around the Grothendieck group K#95;0 of a category and uses explicit algebraic presentations and higher algebraic K-theory which requires topological or homological machinery to define.”

“2014, Daniel Scott Farley, Ivonne Johanna Ortiz, Algebraic K-theory of Crystallographic Groups, Springer, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 2113, page 1, Algebraic K-theory is a branch of algebra dealing with linear algebra over a general ring R instead of a field. […] Algebraic K-theory plays an important part in many areas of mathematics, especially number theory, algebraic topology and algebraic geometry.”
