We use a simplicial product version of Quillen's Theorem A to prove classical Waldhausen Additivity of wS., which says that the "subobject" and "quotient" functors of cofiber sequences induce a weak equivalence wS.E(A,C,B)--> wS.A x wS.B .…
We decompose the K-theory space of a Waldhausen category in terms of its Dwyer-Kan simplicial localization. This leads to a criterion for functors to induce equivalences of K-theory spectra that generalizes and explains many of the criteria…
We study the question of the existence of a Waldhausen category on any (relative) abelian category in which the contractible objects are the (relatively) projective objects. The associated $K$-theory groups are "stable algebraic…
The (A)CGW categories of Campbell and Zakharevich show how finite sets and varieties behave like the objects of an exact category for the purpose of algebraic $K$-theory. These structures admit a well-behaved Q-construction akin to…
Let $X$ be a simplicial set. We construct a novel adjunction between the categories of retractive spaces over $X$ and of $X_{+}$-comodules, then apply recent work on left-induced model category structures (arXiv:1401.3651v2…
We prove that Waldhausen K-theory, when extended to a very general class of quasicategories, can be described as a Goodwillie differential. In particular, K-theory spaces admit canonical (connective) deloopings, and the K-theory functor…
Building on the Waldhausen and Quillen models of higher algebraic $K$-theory for exact categories and Waldhausen categories attached to a non-commutative $n$-ary $\Ga$-semiring $(T,\Ga)$, we establish the fundamental formal properties of…
We show that a complete hereditary cotorsion pair $(\C,\C^\bot)$ in an exact category $\E$, together with a subcategory $\Z\subseteq\E$ containing $\C^\bot$, determines a Waldhausen category structure on the exact category $\C$, in which…
In this paper we establish a universal characterization of higher algebraic K-theory in the setting of small stable infinity categories. Specifically, we prove that connective algebraic K-theory is the universal additive invariant, i.e.,…
We give a new construction of the equivariant $K$-theory of group actions (cf. Barwick et al.), producing an infinite loop $G$-space for each Waldhausen category with $G$-action, for a finite group $G$. On the category $R(X)$ of retractive…
The additivity theorem for derivateurs associated to complicial biWaldhausen categories is proved. Also, to any exact category in the sense of Quillen a K-theory space is associated. This K-theory is shown to satisfy the additivity,…
We develop a new framework to study real $K$-theory in the context of $\infty$-categories. For this, we introduce Waldhausen $\infty$-categories with genuine duality, which will be the input for such $K$-theory. These are Waldhausen…
Spectral Mackey functors are homotopy-coherent versions of ordinary Mackey functors as defined by Dress. We show that they can be described as excisive functors on a suitable infinity-category, and we use this to show that universal…
We prove that the K-theory of an exact quasicategory can be computed via a higher categorical variant of the Q construction. This construction yields a quasicategory whose weak homotopy type is a delooping of the K-theory space. We show…
In the companion paper~\cite{Gokavarapu_IJPA_2025}, we developed a classical algebraic K-theory for non-commutative $n$-ary $\Gamma$-semirings $(T,\Gamma)$ in terms of finitely generated projective $n$-ary $\Gamma$-modules and their…
We study a categorical construction called the cobordism category, which associates to each Waldhausen category a simplicial category of cospans. We prove that this construction is homotopy equivalent to Waldhausen's…
For any k-coalgebra C it is shown that similar quasi-finite C-comodules have strongly equivalent coendomorphism coalgebras; (the converse is in general not true). As an application we give a general result about codepth two coalgebra…
We introduce a notion of exact quasicategory, and we prove an analogue of Amnon Neeman's Theorem of the Heart for Waldhausen K-theory.
For every $\infty$-category $\mathscr{C}$, there is a homotopy $n$-category $\mathrm{h}_n \mathscr{C}$ and a canonical functor $\gamma_n \colon \mathscr{C} \to \mathrm{h}_n \mathscr{C}$. We study these higher homotopy categories, especially…
We prove that the homotopy theory of cofibration categories is equivalent to the homotopy theory of cocomplete quasicategories. This is achieved by presenting both homotopy theories as fibration categories and constructing an explicit…
