Abstract

We study the algebraic KK-theory of rings of the form R[x]/xeR[x]/x^e. We do this via trace methods and filtrations on topological Hochschild homology and related theories by quasisyntomic sheaves. We produce computations for RR a perfectoid ring in terms of the big Witt vectors of RR, for RR a smooth curve over a perfectoid ring in terms of the prismatic cohomology of RR, and for RR a complete mixed characteristic discrete valuation rings with perfect residue field in terms of the prismatic cohomology and Hodge-Tate divisor of RR.

Comments

39 pages, fixed several typos, moved some of the more technical discussion in the introduction into a new section, rewrote and added several parts of [v1] to improve readability following a referee report, and added the ramified case of Theorem 1.13(now Theorem 1.6)
