Abstract

We formulate and prove a Conner-Floyd isomorphism for the algebraic K-theory of arbitrary qcqs derived schemes. To that end, we study a stable \infty-category of non-A1\mathbb A^1-invariant motivic spectra, which turns out to be equivalent to the \infty-category of fundamental motivic spectra satisfying elementary blowup excision, previously introduced by the first and third authors. We prove that this \infty-category satisfies P1\mathbb P^1-homotopy invariance and weighted A1\mathbb A^1-homotopy invariance, which we use in place of A1\mathbb A^1-homotopy invariance to obtain analogues of several key results from A1\mathbb A^1-homotopy theory. These allow us in particular to define a universal oriented motivic E\mathbb E_\infty-ring spectrum MGL\mathrm{MGL}. We then prove that the algebraic K-theory of a qcqs derived scheme XX can be recovered from its MGL\mathrm{MGL}-cohomology via a Conner-Floyd isomorphism MGL(X)LZ[β±1]K(X),\mathrm{MGL}^{**}(X)\otimes_{\mathrm L}\mathbb Z[\beta^{\pm 1}]\simeq \mathrm K^{**}(X), where L\mathrm L is the Lazard ring and Kp,q(X)=K2qp(X)\mathrm K^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm K_{2q-p}(X). Finally, we prove a Snaith theorem for the periodized version of MGL\mathrm{MGL}.
