The 1-type of a Waldhausen K-theory Spectrum

چکیده
We give a small functorial algebraic model for the 2-stage Postnikov section of the K-theory spectrum of a Waldhausen category and use our presentation to describe the multiplicative structure with respect to biexact functors.

Relative Homological Algebra, Waldhausen K-theory, and Quasi-frobenius Conditions
We study the question of the existence of a Waldhausen category on any (relative) abelian category in which the contractible objects are the (relatively) projective objects. The associated K-theory groups are “stable algebraic G-theory,” which in degree zero form a certain stable representation group. We prove both some existence and nonexistence results about such Waldhausen category structure...
متن کاملK-theory of a Waldhausen Category as a Symmetric Spectrum
If C is a Waldhausen category (i.e., a “category with cofibrations and weak equivalences”), it is known that one can define its K-theory K(C) as a connective symmetric Ω-spectrum. The goal of these notes is to explain the construction in such a way that it can be not only understood, but also (hopefully) remembered by a non-expert. We do not claim that our exposition shows the process by which ...
متن کاملDuality in Waldhausen Categories
We develop a theory of Spanier–Whitehead duality in categories with cofibrations and weak equivalences (Waldhausen categories, for short). This includes L–theory, the involution on K–theory introduced by [Vo] in a special case, and a map Ξ relating L–theory to the Tate spectrum of Z/2 acting on K–theory. The map Ξ is a distillation of the long exact Rothenberg sequences [Sha], [Ra1], [Ra2], inc...
متن کاملWaldhausen Additivity: Classical and Quasicategorical
We give a short proof of classical Waldhausen Additivity, and then prove Waldhausen Additivity for an ∞-version of Waldhausen K-theory. Namely, we prove that Waldhausen K-theory sends a split-exact sequence of Waldausen quasicategories A → E → B to a stable equivalence of spectra K(E) → K(A) ∨ K(B) under a few mild hypotheses. For example, each cofiber sequence in A of the form A0 → A1 → ∗ is r...
متن کاملProducts and Duality in Waldhausen Categories
The natural transformation Ξ from L–theory to the Tate cohomology of Z/2 acting on K–theory (constructed in [WW2] and [WWd]) commutes with external products. Corollary: The Tate cohomology of Z/2 acting on the K–theory of any ring with involution is a generalized Eilenberg–MacLane spectrum, and it is 4–periodic.
