We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, M∞-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive Ktheory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, (A, B) 7→ kk∗(A, B), which is universal in the sense that it maps uniquely to any other such theory. It turns out kk is related to C. Weibel’s homotopy algebraic K-theory, KH....

The romantic poets travelled considerably, both physically and mentally, and I will try to address the two forms of journey in this paper, since I believe that imaginary excursions colour our view of ...
