(2) Another use of -rings in homotopy theory is the Lambda-rings book cation of the Mislin genus of the classifying space of a Lie group. Given a 1-connected compact Lie. This is not an answer, as I don't exactly know what Fulton and Lang are trying to achieve with the $\lambda$-ring structure on $\Lambda^{\circ}\left(A\right)$ (I must admit that, while I had the quixotic intent to read and rewrite Fulton-Lang's Chapter I in the notes that you cited, I.

The theory of Lambda-rings, in the sense of Grothendieck's Riemann-Roch theory, is an enrichment of the theory of commutative rings.

In the same way, we can enrich usual algebraic geometry over the ring Z of integers to produce Lambda-algebraic geometry. We show that Lambda-algebraic geometry is in a precise sense an algebraic geometry over a deeper base than Z and that it has many. In algebra, a λ-ring or lambda ring is a commutative ring together with some operations λ n on it that behave like the exterior powers of vector spaces.

Lambda-rings: Definitions and basic properties. These are notes on the theory of λ-rings. I started writing them as I was learning the subject myself.

Later I realized that much of the content is explained (usually better) in Yau's λ-rings book and in Hazewinkel's Witt vectors notes. Lambda-rings (Co)free lambda-rings The formalism of lambda-rings encodes the algebraic properties of operations such as ex- terior powers or symmetric powers.

Its algebraic background is the theory of symmetric functions or, equivalently, the theory of the symmetric group representations. Lambda-rings. [Donald Y Yau] -- "The book gives a self-contained introduction to the theory of lambda-rings and closely related topics, including Witt vectors, integer-valued polynomials, and binomial rings.

Edit: OK, over in chat, Darij Grinberg posted a better reference -- if he wants to post it as a separate answer I'll upvote it, though I can't accept it. -- which is Hazewinkel, Gubareni, and Kirichenko's book "Algebras, Rings, and Modules", volume 3; it discusses lambda rings in a way that puts the $\lambda^i$ and $\sigma^i$ (their terminology.

Description: This book gives a self-contained introduction to the theory of lambda-rings and closely related topics, including Witt vectors, integer-valued polynomials, and binomial rings.

Many of the purely algebraic results about lambda-rings presented in this book have never appeared in book form before. A pre-$\lambda$-ring is a commutative ring $R$ with identity element $1$ and a set of mappings $\lambda^n: R \rightarrow R$, $n = 0,1,2,\ldots$ such that.

Lambda / ˈ l æ m d ə / (uppercase Λ, lowercase λ; Greek: λάμ(β)δα lám(b)da) is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the sound /l/.In the system of Greek numerals lambda has a value of Lambda is derived from the Phoenician gave rise to the Latin L and the Cyrillic El (Л).

The ancient grammarians and dramatists give evidence to the pronunciation as. So, λ \lambda -rings are all about getting the most for your money when you decategorify a symmetric monoidal abelian category — for example the category of representations of a group, or the category of vector bundles on a topological space.

We introduce the Andre-Quillen cohomology of lambda-rings and Psi-rings, this is different to the lambda-ring cohomology defined by Yau in We show that there is a natural transformation connecting the cohomology of the K-theory of spheres to the homotopy groups of spheres.

With \(\lambda\)-rings, one can regard symmetric functions as operators on polynomials and reduce the theory to just a handful of fundamental formulas. One of the main goals of the book is to describe the technique of \(\lambda\)-rings.

The main applications of this technique to the theory of symmetric functions are related to the Euclid. What my notes actually do is build up the basics of $\lambda$-rings from the power-series point of view in detail.) Donald Yau's "$\lambda$-rings" book and Hazewinkel's "Witt vectors, part I" are far better sources for this.

Bruner: Chern classes in lambda-rings, I In their book "Riemann-Roch Algebra", Fulton and Lang give an account of Chern classes in lambda-rings and a general version of Grothendieck's Riemann-Roch theorem. Their definition of Chern classes is based on the additive formal group law.
