"The relevance for K-theory is that virtually
all results about derived categories translate into results about higher algebraic K-groups. The
link is provided by an abstract Localization Theorem due to Thomason and Waldhausen which
– omitting hypothesis – says that a “short exact sequence of triangulated categories gives rise
to a long exact sequence of algebraic K-groups”. " -----
Marco Schlichting (
Higher algebraic K-theory).
The importance of the localization theorem thus becomes evident, not only for K-theory but for any homology theory for that matter. After the excellent introduction to the K-theory of Schemes last week, we are thus happy to bring it under the light of localization theorem in the next lecture. Please find the details of the lecture below.
