Meaning of "k-theory"

k-theory (noun) - K-theory is a mathematical concept within the field of algebraic topology and abstract algebra. It deals with studying and classifying vector bundles and projective modules over topological spaces or schemes. This term is used in academic and research contexts among mathematicians, scholars, and students specializing in algebraic geometry or related disciplines
