started adding some basic technical details to topological K-theory

At topological K-theory I created a new subsection Relation to algebraic K-theory.

So far it just points to two references, though.

By the way, there is a strange \ref{} on the topological K-theory entry. I do not see what it should have been.

Thanks, I have fixed that.

The problem was that the code for the definition had been

+-- {: .num_defn#DefinitionOfKClasses}


+-- {: .num_defn #DefinitionOfKClasses}

added to top. K-theory – classifying space statements about the model induced from unitaries modulo compact operators.

the entry topological K-theory was in a sad general state, and still is. But yesterday I tried to give it at least a half-way decent Idea-section.

I made this supercede the material that used to be in the Idea-section (which I felt at liberty to do, since probably I had written that some long time back).

I hope to come back to the entry and eventually turn it into something good. For the moment, due to lack of time, all I have to offer is an improved exposition in the Idea-section. But please feel invited to improve further.

I am starting to bring some more comprehensive details into topological K-theory.

Now I worked on the Definition section, spelling out in some detail the definition of the abelian groups $K(X)$ and $\tilde K(X)$ via virtual topological vector bundles, as well as their relation.

I have been adding some more of the basic stuff at

But the entry does still remain incomplete.

I have been adding this and that to topological K-theory

1. added definition of the graded K-groups (here)

2. streamlined the long exact sequences (here)

3. gave the external product on reduced groups its own subsection (here)

4. added bare defintion of the product on graded K-groups (here)

Not proof-read yet. Need to dash.

I have added the remark (here) that one may think of the reduced K-groups of a compact Hausdorff spaces as those K-groups on any one-point complement space that “vanish at infinity”.

I have completed writing up the explicit proof of the long exact sequences of topological K-theory groups by adding a few more lemmas and their proofs: here.

• CommentTimeJul 19th 2017
• (edited Jul 19th 2017)

I have further polished some of the proofs in other entries that go into this. There is now detailed proof of the long exact sequences in topoogial K-theory over compact Hausdorff spaces

1. starting with the proof of the Tietze extension theorem

2. via the lemmas about extending bundle isomorphisms here

3. to the corollary of the exactness here.

1. Corrected typo at definition of multiplication.

Thanks for catching!

2. typos in ###Graded-commutative ring structre oringin: $X \wedge Y = (X \times X)/(X \vee Y)$

$X \overset{\Delta_X}{\longrightarrow} X \times X \overset{q}{\longrightarrow} X$

change to: $X \wedge X = (X \times X)/(X \vee X)$

$X \overset{\Delta_X}{\longrightarrow} X \times X \overset{q}{\longrightarrow} X\vee X$

3. typo in ###Graded-commutative ring structure

apparently the pdf link for

Thanks for looking into this!

I don’t know what the problem is, but I would try removing the special characters from the file name.

(If you replace the Umlaut by “ue” it’s still considered correct spelling.)

If this doesn’t work, maybe you could send me the file by email?
