Subject: statement for Hopf From: lueck Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2007 11:26:17 +0200 Statement by Wolfgang Lueck (Muenster) about the journals ``K-Theory?? and ``Journal of K-Theory'' I have submitted an article to the DMV-Mitteilungen which is the German equivalent of the Notices of the AMS. The title is ``Persoenliches Protokoll zur Zeitschrift K-Theory'' which means in English ``A personal record concerning the K-Theory journal'' It will appear at the end of September. You can find the original and the English translation on my homepage under http://www.math.uni-muenster.de/u/lueck/org/staff/aktivitaeten.html The first two paragraphs of the English translation are: This is a record of the recent events surrounding the journal ``K-Theory'' published by Springer and the new ``Journal of K-Theory'' to be distributed by Cambridge University Press. One can expect that these events will provoke a wide discussion. In order to provide a foundation for this discussion and to clarify my own role, I shall record the facts known to myself and Prof. Ranicki. The evaluation of these facts is reserved for the expected discussion.
