Abstract: We study pro excision in algebraic K-theory, following Suslin--Wodzicki, Cuntz--Quillen, Corti~nas, and Geisser--Hesselholt, as well as Artin--Rees and continuity properties of Andr'e--Quillen, Hochschild, and cyclic homology. Our key tool is to first establish the equivalence of various pro Tor vanishing conditions which appear in the literature. Using this we prove that all ideals of commutative, Noetherian rings are pro unital in a certain sense, and show that such ideals satisfy pro excision in K-theory as well as in cyclic and topological cyclic homology. In addition, our techniques yield a strong form of the pro Hochschild--Kostant--Rosenberg theorem, an extension to general base rings of the Cuntz--Quillen excision theorem in periodic cyclic homology, and a generalisation of the Feu{i}gin--Tsygan theorem.


The author of the paper begins by proving the equivalence between various pro versions of the Tor vanishing condition. As a result he gets that any ideal of commutative noetherian ring is pro Tor unital using a lemma of André. Then he derives pro excision for algebraic \(K\)-theory using Geisser-Hesselholt's pro version of Suslin-Wodzicki's criterion. In general, algebraic \(K\)-theory does not satisfy excision. In this sense, the above result is satisfactory. Similar pro excision results for derived HH, derived HC, THH, and TC have also been proved. We note that Geisser-Hesselholt had proved pro excision for THH and TC but here the author of the paper gave a short proof with a generalisation. The author proves a pro version of the Hochschild-Kostant-Rogensberg (HKR) theorem, generalises a theorem Cuntz-Quillen about excision in periodic cyclic homology and also generalises a result of Feĭgin-Tsygan. In the final section, he proves pro excision for André-Quillen homology. To prove this, he first establishes Artin-Rees properties for André-Quillen homology using higher Jacobi-Zariski spectral sequences.
