itemswould be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should) have a
nameor a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about them and feel the need for more information. If this happens, one should be able to find enough information in this Handbook to judge if it is worthwhile to pursue the quest.
In addition to the primary information given in the Handbook, there are references to relevant articles, books or lecture notes to help the reader. An excellent index has been included which is extensive and not limited to definitions, theorems etc.
The Handbook of Algebra will publish articles as they are received and thus the reader will find in this third volume articles from twelve different sections. The advantages of this scheme are two-fold: accepted articles will be published quickly and the outline of the Handbook can be allowed to evolve as the various volumes are published.
A particularly important function of the Handbook is to provide professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own with sufficient information on the topic in question if and when it is needed.
- Thorough and practical source for information
- Provides in-depth coverage of new topics in algebra

Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000.

(iii) Derived categories. Let be an exact category and b(C) the (bounded) homotopy category of , i.e. the stable category of b(C) (see [63]). So, (Hb(C))=Chb(C) and morphisms are homotopy classes of bounded complexes. Let (C) be the full subcategory of b(C) consisting of acyclic complexes (see [63]). The derived category b(C) of is defined by b(C)=Hb(C)/A(C). A morphism of complexes in b(C) is called a quasi-isomorphism if its image in b(C) is an isomorphism. We could also define the unbounded derived category (C) from unbounded complexes (C).
Note that there exists a faithful embedding of in an Abelian category such that ⊂A is closed under extensions and the exact functor →A reflects exact sequences. So, a complex in (C) is acyclic iff its image in (A) is acyclic. In particular, a morphism in (C) is a quasi-isomorphism iff its image in (A) is a quasi-isomorphism. Hence, the derived category (C) is the category obtained from (C) formally inverting quasi-isomorphisms.
(iv) Stable derived categories and Waldhausen categories. Now let =M′(R). A complex M. in ′(R) is said to be compact if the functor Hom(M., –) commutes with arbitrary set-valued coproducts. Let (R)¯ denote the full subcategory of (M′(R)) consisting of compact objects. Then we have (R)¯⊂Db(M′(R))⊂D(M′(R)).
Define the stable derived category of bounded complexes ¯b(M′(R)) as the quotient category of b(M′(R)) with respect to (R)¯. A morphism of complexes in b(M′(R)) is called a stable quasi-isomorphism if its image in ¯b(M′(R)) is an isomorphism. The family of stable quasi-isomorphisms in =Chb(M′(R)) is denoted A.
(v) Theorem.
(1) (Chb(M′(R))) forms a set of weak equivalences and satisfies the saturation and extension axioms.
(2) b(M′(R)) together with the family of stable quasi-isomorphisms is a Waldhausen category.
4 Some fundamental results and exact sequences in higher K-theory
4.1 Resolution theorem
4.1.1. Resolution theorem for exact categories [114]. Let ⊂H be full exact subcategories of an Abelian category , both closed under extensions and inheriting their exact structure from . Suppose that (1) every object M of has a finite -resolution and (2) is closed under kernels in , i.e. if L → M N is an exact sequence in with ,N∈P, then L is also in. Then nP≅KnH for all n ≥ 0.
4.1.2. Remarks and examples.
(i) Let R be a regular Noetherian ring. Then by taking =M(R), =P(R) in 4.1.1, we have Kn(R) Gn(R) for all n ≥ 0.
(ii) Let R be any ring with identity and (R) the category of all R-modules having finite homological dimension (i.e. having a finite resolution by finitely generated projective R-modules), ¯s(R) the subcategory of modules in (R) having resolutions of length ≤ s. Then by 4.1.1 applied to (R)⊆H¯s(R)⊆H¯(R) we have n(R)≅Kn(H¯(R))≅Kn(H¯s(R)) for all s ≥ 1.
(iii) Let T = {Ti} be an exact connected sequence of functors from an exact category to an Abelian category, i.e. given an exact sequence 0 → M′ → M ′→ M″ → 0 in there exists a long exact sequence … → T2M″ → T1M′ → T1M →. Let be the full subcategory of T-acyclic objects (i.e. objects M such that Tn(M) = 0 for all n ≥ 1), and assume that for each ∈C, there is a map P M such that ∈P and that TnM = 0 for n sufficiently large. Then nP≅KnC∀n≥0 (see [114]).
(iv) As an example of (iii) let A, B be a Noetherian rings, f: A → B a homomorphism, B a flat A-module, then we have a homomorphism of K-groups: (B ⊗A ?)*: Gn(A) → Gn(B) (since B ⊗A ? is exact). Let B be of finite tordimension as a right A-module. Then by applying (iii) above, to =M(A), Ti(M) = ToriA(B, M) and taking as the full subcategory of (A) consisting of M such the TiM = 0 for i > 0, we have n(P)≈Gn(A).
(v) Let be an exact category and (C) the category whose objects are pairs (M, ν) with ∈C and ν is a nilpotent endomorphism of M. Let 0⊂C be an exact subcategory of such that every object of has a finite 0-resolution. Then every object of (C) has a finite (C0) resolution and so, by 4.1.1,
n(Nil(C0))≈Kn(Nil(C)).
4.2 Additivity theorem (for exact and Waldhausen categories)
4.2.1. Let , be exact categories. A sequence of functors F′ → F F″ from to is called an exact sequence of exact functors if 0 → F′(A) → F(A) → F″(A) → 0 is an exact sequence in for every ∈A.
Let , be Waldhausen categories. If F′(A) F(A) F″(A) is a cofibration sequence in and for every cofibration A A′ in , F(A) F′(A) F′(A′) → F(A′) is a cofibration in say that F′ F F″ a short exact sequence or a cofibration sequence of exact functors.
4.2.2. Additivity theorem. Let F′ F F″ be a short exact sequence of exact functors from to where both and are either exact categories or Waldhausen categories. Then *≃F′*+F″*:Kn(A)→Kn(B).
