Motivic Cohomology, K-Theory and Topological Cyclic Homology

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of K-Theory

Abstract

We give a survey onmotivic cohomology, higher algebraic K-theory, and topological cyclic homology. We concentrate on results which are relevant for applications in arithmetic algebraic geometry (in particular, we do not discuss non-commutative rings), and our main focus lies on sheaf theoretic results for smooth schemes, which then lead to global results using local-to-global methods.
