On the algebraicK-theory of higher categories

Abstract: We prove that Waldhausen K‐theory, when extended to a very general class of quasicategories, can be described as a Goodwillie differential. In particular, K‐theory spaces admit canonical (connective) deloopings, and the K‐theory functor enjoys a simple universal property. Using this, we give new, higher categorical proofs of the approximation, additivity, and fibration theorems of Waldhausen in this article. As applications of this technology, we study the algebraic K‐theory of associative rings in a wide rang… Show more

“…A topic of much recent work has been the generalization of the classical S • -construction to more general contexts, such as for stable (∞, 1)categories, for example in [5], [8], and [14]. In a companion paper [6] we show that our construction recovers and generalizes these results for exact (∞, 1)-categories; we give a summary in Section 3.2.…”

“…One final remark on the connection between algebraic K-theory and Goodwillie calculus is worth making here. Barwick [22] identifies the process of forming algebraic K-theory itself as the first layer of a Taylor tower. He defines an ∞-category Wald ∞ of Waldhausen ∞-categories that are ∞-category-theoretic analogues of Waldhausen's categories with cofibrations.…”

“…Such an ∞-category with cofibrations is referred to as a Waldhausen ∞-category in [4,17]. Specifying a subcategory of cofibrations is a way of specifying which maps have homotopy cofibers.…”
