Abstract
We give a -theoretic account of the basic properties of Witt vectors. Along the way we re-prove basic properties of the little-known Witt vector norm, give a characterization of Witt vectors in terms of algebraic -theory, and a presentation of the Witt vectors that is useful for computation.
