Algebraic K-theory and Witt groups

Let $S$ be a ring with involution (with 2 invertible). Suppose that the non connective algebraic K-theory $K(S)$ is 0 (i.e. $K_{n}(S)=0$, for all $n$). Can we say something about the (higher) Witt ...

Homotopy invariant $K$-theory spectrum version vs space version

Let $K^H$ be the homotopy $K$-theory spectrum. It is defined as a colimit of the form $|\mathbb{K}(X\times \Delta^{\bullet})|$. Here $\Delta^{\bullet}$ is the co-simplicial scheme defined by the ...

Rational homotopy invariance of algebraic $K$-theory

Suppose that $R\to S$ is a 1-connected morphism of connective structured ring spectra that induces an isomorphism on rational homotopy groups. Is the induced map of (Waldhausen) K-theory spectra $$ K(...

Topological Hochschild homology using equivariant orthogonal spectra

In the Hesselholt-Madsen paper "On the K-theory of finite algebras over Witt vectors of perfect fields", the authors develop some results concerning the Topological Hochschild homology (THH) of ...

Algebraic K-theory of a ring

I started to learn some algebraic $K$-theory and its relation to geometric topology problems. My question is: What is the list of rings such that all their algebraic $K$-theory groups are known? I ...

Goodwillie's notes from MSRI Lecture Series

Does anyone know where I can find an electronic version of Goodwillie's (unpublished) notes from the MSRI Lecture Series in Spring, 1990? They're mentioned/cited as such in work of Dundas-McCarthy, ...

Detection of stable homotopy by K-theory spectra

This is primarily a reference request. Does anyone know of any writing about algebraic K-theory spectra picking up elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres in their Hurewicz image coming from ...

Waldhausen $K$-theory for $G$-spaces

I would guess that the following is true, and that somebody has worked it out, but I don't recall ever seeing it. Can anyone point me to any literature on it? Let $G$ be a finite group. We know that ...

K-Theory space of finite abelian groups

Consider the abelian category $\mathsf{finAb}$ of finite abelian groups. It is easy to prove that there is an isomorphism $\mathrm{ord} : K_0(\mathsf{finAb}) \to \mathbb{Q}^+$. Can you give a ...

Algebraic K-groups and braids

This is (I think) a reference request: Are there calculations of any algebraic K-groups for the (group ring of) the Artin braid groups?
