Abstract: As one of the topological applications of algebraic K-theory, I will introduce Wall's finiteness obstruction which is defined as the obstruction for a finitely dominated space to be homotopy equivalent to a finite CW-complex. Then, I will discuss the orbit category version of Wall's finiteness obstruction.
