Is there an ∞-categorical interpretation of the Quillen S⁻¹S construction?
A published reference for the claim (right after the question in boldface) is the proof given by Thomason on pages 1657-1658 of "First quadrant spectral sequences in algebraic K-theory via ...

Is there an ∞-categorical interpretation of the Quillen S⁻¹S construction?
Consider an $E_n$-monoid X. We can deloop $X$ to an $\infty$-category $\mathbf{B}X$. There's a natural functor $X^\circlearrowleft : \mathbf{B}X \rightarrow \text{Spc}$ given by the left action of $X$ ...

f.g. modules vs. f.g. projective modules
Let $R = \mathbb Z_4$ (by which I mean integers modulo $4$). Then the abelian group $K_0(R)$ is freely generated by $[\mathbb Z_4]$ and $G(R)$ is freely generated by $[\mathbb Z_2]$, and we have $[\...

Algebraic K-theory of a ring
The comments point out that this question is very similar to another question, but an attempt to close as a duplicate failed. So, rather than leave this question on the unanswered queue, I will try to ...

Grothendieck group and an almost localization
Not in general, no. Let $S$ be any triangulated category, and consiser the inclusion of the left (say) summand $S \to S \times S$.
You can choose the functor $F$ to be the direct sum functor $\oplus : ...

The action of the Grothendieck group on higher K-theory groups
No this is not true in general. Let $R$ be a flat $k$-algebra with the two maps $K_1(R) \to K_1(R\otimes_k R)$ being different. For example, $R = k[t^{\pm 1}]$ for some nonzero ring $k$ and then the ...

Example of triangulated category with vanishing $K_0$
The answer is no in general: let $R= \mathbb Z$ and $E= \mathbb Z/p$. Then $[E] = 0$ because of the co/fiber sequence $\mathbb Z\to \mathbb Z\to \mathbb Z/p$.
However, by the theorem of the heart, $...

Besides $F_q$, for which rings $R$ is $K_i(R)$ completely known?
In the ten years since this question was asked, there has been a lot of progress in algebraic $K$-theory. For example, Achim Krause, Ben Antieau, and Thomas Nikolaus came up with an algorithm to ...
