Two-primary algebraic K-theory of pointed spaces

Abstract: We compute the mod 2 cohomology of Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory spectrum A(*) of the category of finite pointed spaces, as a module over the Steenrod algebra. This also computes the mod 2 cohomology of the smooth Whitehead spectrum of a point, denoted Wh Diff (*). Using an Adams spectral sequence we compute the 2-primary homotopy groups of these spectra in dimensions * ≤ 18, and up to extensions in dimensions 19 ≤ * ≤ 21. As applications we show that the linearization map L : A(*) → K(Z) induces the zero ho… Show more

“…The fiber of the cyclotomic trace map K(M U ) → T C(M U ) is equivalent to that of K(Z) → T C(Z), by [Du97], which now is quite well known [Ro02], [Ro03]. Our theorem therefore provides a key input to the computation of K(M U ).…”

“…As a sample application we show in 6.3 that for p ≥ 5 and M a compact smooth k -connected n-manifold with k ≥ 4p − 2 and n ≥ 12p − 5, the first p-torsion in the homotopy of the smooth concordance space C(M ) is π 4p−4 C(M) ( A 2-primary analog of this study was presented in [38]. Related results on the homotopy fiber of the linearization map L : A( * ) → K(Z) were given in [18].…”

“…Furthermore they obtained many strong nonvanishing results in [ABK72] about these groups of Gromoll. Their results perhaps combined with recent knowledge about a k (see [Rog02] and [Rog03]) should yield extremely substantial quantitative improvements to Theorem 3 and hence also to Theorem 1. We are very grateful to the referee for pointing out to us this direction for future investigation.…”
