K-theory and derived equivalences (after Dugger and Shipley)
I will explain Dugger and Shipley's result that an equivalence between derived categories of rings implies a Quillen equivalence between the model categories of chain complexes and hence an isomorphism between the algebraic K-theory of the rings. I will assume an acquaintance with the basics of model categories and algebraic K-theory.
