How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2418337 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Milnor K-theory
Milnor K-theory is an algebraic K-theory constructed from fields using tensor powers of their multiplicative groups modulo Steinberg relations, playing a central role in modern algebraic geometry and number theory.
-
B.
K-theory
K-theory is a branch of algebraic topology and algebraic geometry that studies vector bundles and generalized cohomology theories using algebraic and categorical methods.
-
C.
“K-Theory” (book with Friedrich Hirzebruch and others)
“K-Theory” is a foundational mathematical monograph co-authored by Michael Atiyah, Friedrich Hirzebruch, and others that systematically develops topological K-theory and its applications in geometry and topology.
-
D.
Grothendieck group
The Grothendieck group is an algebraic construction that formally turns a commutative monoid (often arising from isomorphism classes of objects like vector bundles or modules) into an abelian group, playing a central role in K-theory and modern algebraic geometry.
-
E.
Categories for the Working Mathematician
Categories for the Working Mathematician is a foundational textbook in category theory that systematically develops the subject and its applications for professional mathematicians.
- F. None of above. chosen

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Introduction to Algebraic K-Theory Description of subject: Introduction to Algebraic K-Theory is a foundational graduate-level textbook by John Milnor that systematically develops the basic concepts and techniques of algebraic K-theory in a concise and influential style.
