Thomason's completion for K-theory and cyclic homology of quotient stacks
We prove several completion theorems for equivariant K-theory and cyclic homology of schemes with group action over a field. One of these shows that for an algebraic space over a field acted upon by a linear algebraic group, the derived completion of equivariant K'-theory at the augmentation ideal of the representation ring of the group coincides with the ordinary K'-theory of the bar construction associated to the group action. This provides a solution to Thomason's completion problem. For action with finite stabilizers, we show that the equivariant K-theory and cyclic homology have non-equivariant descriptions even without passing to their completions. As an application, we describe all equivariant Hochschild and other homology groups for such actions.
