Vanishing negative K-theory and bounded t-structures

Abstract: We will begin with a quick reminder of algebraic K-theory, and a few classical, vanishing results for negative K-theory. The talk will then focus on a striking 2019 article by Antieau, Gepner and Heller - it turns out that there are K-theoretic obstructions to the existence of bounded t-structures. The result suggests many questions. A few have already been answered, but many remain open. We will concentrate on the many possible directions for future research.
