Deformation K-theory was introduced by G. Carlsson and gives an interesting invariant of a group G encoding higher homotopy information about its representation spaces. Lawson proved a relation between this object and a homotopy theoretic analogue of the representation ring. This talk will not contain many details, instead I will outline some basic constructions and hopefully communicate the main ideas.
