The Local Structure of Algebraic K-Theory

Algebraic K-theory encodes important invariants for several mathematical disciplines, spanning from geometric topology and functional analysis to number theory and algebraic geometry. As is commonly encountered, this powerful mathematical object is very h

Series Editors: Alice Fialowski Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary Eric Friedlander University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA John Greenlees Sheffield University, Sheffield, UK Gerhard Hiß Aachen University, Aachen, Germany Ieke Moerdijk Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Idun Reiten Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Christoph Schweigert Hamburg University, Hamburg, Germany Mina Teicher Bar-llan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel Alain Verschoren University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium Algebra and Applications aims to publish well written and carefully refereed monographs with up-to-date information about progress in all fields of algebra, its classical impact on commutative and noncommutative algebraic and differential geometry, K-theory and algebraic topology, as well as applications in related domains, such as number theory, homotopy and (co)homology theory, physics and discrete mathematics. Particular emphasis will be put on state-of-the-art topics such as rings of differential operators, Lie algebras and super-algebras, group rings and algebras, C ∗ -algebras, Kac-Moody theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry, Hopf algebras and quantum groups, as well as their applications. In addition, Algebra and Applications will also publish monographs dedicated to computational aspects of these topics as well as algebraic and geometric methods in computer science.
