NOTE Throughout these notes, the lower case German "p" has been consistently typed as a lower case Roman "y". This results in some rather unusual notation , but should not cause any difficulty if the reader is prepared for it. The lower case German "c" is also indistinguishable from the lower case Greek tau, but again no real confusion should result.

Introduction

Let R be a ring.

Then KO(R) is the abelian group given by

generators [p] where P is a finitely generated projective R module, with relations [p]

=

[PI] + [pIt] whenever 0

P"

P

P" --. 0

is an exact sequence of finitely generated projective R modules. KO is a covariant functor from rings to abelian groups. f: R-.R', then KO(f'): KO(R) ...... KO(R') by [P] ....

If IfR

is left noetherian, then GO(R) is the abelian group with generators [M] where M is a finitely generated left R module with relations [M] •

[M I] + [M"] whenever 0 .... M I .-.... M __ M" - - 0 is an exact se-

quence of finitely generated left R modules. since the tensor product

will preserve all the relations only

when R' is flat as a right R module. given by

GO is not a functor

There is a map KO(R) -..GO(R)

This map is called the Cartan
