Walker: Semi-topological K-homology and Thomason’s Theorem, by Mark E. Walker. In this paper, we introduce the “semi-topological K-homology” of complex varieties, a theory related to semi-topological K-theory much as connective topological K-homology is related to connective topological K-theory. Our main theorem is that the semi-topological K-homology of a smooth, quasi-projective complex variety Y coincides with the connective topological K-homology of the analytic space associated to Y. From this result, we deduce a pair of results relating semi-topological K-theory with connective topological K-theory. In particular, we prove that the “Bott inverted” semi-topological K-theory of a smooth, projective complex variety X coincides with the topological K-theory of its analytic realization. In combination with a result of Friedlander and the author, this gives a new proof, in the special case of smooth, projective complex varieties, of Thomason’s celebrated theorem that “Bott inverted” algebraic K-theory with finite coefficients coincides with topological K-theory with finite coefficients.

arXiv:1206.0690 Equivariant semi-topological K-homology and a theorem of Thomason from arXiv Front: math.KT by Jeremiah Heller, Jens Hornbostel We generalize several comparison results between algebraic, semi-topological and topological K-theories to the equivariant case with respect to a finite group. Moreover, we show that Walker’s theorem comparing semi-topological and topological K-homology extends to singular varieties.
