摘要

Exterior power operations provide an additional structure on K-groups of schemes which lies at the heart of Grothendieck’s Riemann-Roch theory. Over the past decades, various authors have constructed such operations on higher K-theory. In this paper, we prove that these constructions actually yield the same operations, ultimately matching up the explicit combinatorial description by Harris, the first author and Taelman on the one hand and the recent, conceptually clear-cut construction by Barwick, Glasman, Mathew and Nikolaus on the other hand. This also leads to the proof of a conjecture by the first author about composition of these operations in the equivariant context, completing the proof that higher equivariant K-groups satisfy all axioms of a \(\lambda \) λ -ring.
