Virtual pullbacks in K-theory
Abstract
We consider virtual pullbacks in K-theory, and show that they are bivariant classes and satisfy certain functoriality. As applications to K-theoretic counting invariants, we include proofs of a virtual localization formula for schemes and a degeneration formula in Donaldson-Thomas theory.
