Abstract

We generalise the classical Bass-Heller-Swan decomposition for the K-theory of (twisted) Laurent algebras to a splitting for general localising invariants of certain categories of twisted automorphisms. As an application, we obtain splitting formulas for Waldhausen's A-theory of mapping tori and for the K-theory of certain tensor algebras. We identify the Nil-terms appearing in this splitting in two ways. Firstly, as the reduced K-theory of twisted endomorphisms. Secondly, as the reduced K-theory of twisted nilpotent endomorphisms. Finally, we generalise classical vanishing results for Nil-terms of regular rings to our setting.
