Excision for K-theory of connective ring spectra

K-Theory and Homology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We extend Geisser and Hesselholt's result on ``bi-relative K-theory'' from discrete rings to connective ring spectra. That is, if A\mathcal A is a homotopy cartesian nn-cube of ring spectra (satisfying connectivity hypotheses), then the (n+1)(n+1)-cube induced by the cyclotomic trace K(A)TC(A)K(\mathcal A)\to TC(\mathcal A) is homotopy cartesian after profinite completion. In other words, the fiber of the profinitely completed cyclotomic trace satisfies excision.
