Authors:
- Covers the connection between algebraic K-theory and Bökstedt, Hsiang and Madsen's topological cyclic homology, and gives a proof of the fact that the difference between the theories are 'locally constant'
- Provides an inroad to the necessary background in algebraic K-theory and highly structured homotopy theory; collecting all necessary tools into one common framework
- Contains the proof of the integral Goodwillie ICM 1990 conjecture and explains the mathematical prerequisites needed to do this
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The comparison of K-theory with topological cyclic homology is by means of a natural transformation called the cyclotomic trace which is the principal subject of this book. … Many references invite to further reading. The book can be highly recommended to anybody interested in the modern understanding of algebraic K-theory and its approximations by functors which are more accessible to calculations.” (Rainer Vogt, zbMATH, Vol. 1272, 2013)Authors and Affiliations
