Abstract

We construct multiplicative norms on equivariant nonconnective algebraic $K$-theory for finite groups $G$. We also construct a genuine equivariant version of THH equipped with a Dennis trace map from K-theory compatible with the multiplicative norms. To do so, we follow the general strategy of Blumberg-Gepner-Tabuada in the nonequivariant case by generalizing their category of localizing motives to the genuine equivariant context, building upon the theory of perfect $G$-stable categories of the first-named author. Crucially, we proceed using the recent perspective on noncommutative motives by the second-named author with Sosnilo and Winges which allows us to deal with non-exact functors on this category of motives. Together with an isotropy separation argument for equivariant cubes, we prove our main theorem that norms of stable categories preserve equivariant motivic equivalences. As an immediate consequence, we obtain a unique equivariant multiplicative refinement of nonconnective algebraic $K$-theory. From these constructions and results, we draw several applications, namely: (1) that the endofunctor of (equivariant) tensor powers on ordinary perfect stable categories preserve motivic equivalences; (2) that the multiplicative norms also preserve the additive motivic equivalences, thus yielding a motivic refinement of a result of Elmanto-Haugseng and Cnossen-Haugseng-Lenz-Linskens that connective algebraic K-theory admits multiplicative norms; (3) we construct a genuine equivariant version of topological Hochschild homology equipped with a Dennis trace map that is compatible with multiplicative norms; and (4) we prove that every genuine $G$-spectrum is the K-theory of a perfect $G$-stable category.

The Oka principle for \'etale Chow groups

The celebrated theorems of Shilov, Arens--Royden, and Forster give direct descriptions of the first three integral cohomology groups of the Gelfand spectrum of a commutative complex Banach algebra. In his 1974 ICM address, Taylor asked whether the higher cohomology groups admit descriptions in terms of the underlying ring. We give a solution to this question in even degrees: The \'etale (aka Lichtenbaum) Chow group in every codimension is canonically isomorphic to the corresponding even integral cohomology group of the Gelfand spectrum.

General linear and Steinberg groups over the Leavitt algebra $L_{\mathbb F_2}(1,2)$

Let $R=L_{\F_2}(1,2)$. We prove that $\GL_r(R)$ is integrally acyclic for every $r\geq1$ and that the canonical map $\St_r(R)\to\GL_r(R)$ is an isomorphism for every $r\geq3$. The homology calculation combines simultaneous extensions of ordered frames with scalar actions of the multiplicative groups of finite fields on their stabilizers. The presentation associated with the same frame complex defines a surjective section of the Steinberg map. An explicit finite presentation of $R^\times$ then follows from the theorem of Krsti\'c and McCool. We formulate separate criteria for acyclicity and for the Steinberg comparison over other rings.

The K-theory of uniform Roe algebras for coarse structures generated by finite-rank free abelian subgroups

For a uniformly locally finite coarse space $X$, the uniform Roe algebra $C_u^*(X)$ is the operator norm closure of the controlled operators on $\ell^2(X)$. The $K$-theory of uniform Roe algebras is known in asymptotic dimension zero, but it is not fully understood in higher dimensions. We compute $K_0(C_u^*(G,\mathcal E))$ and $K_1(C_u^*(G,\mathcal E))$ for every countable discrete abelian group $G$ and every finite-rank free abelian subgroup $H\leq G$, where $\mathcal E$ is the coarse structure generated by $H$. We use the Proietti--Yamashita spectral sequence to express the $K$-theory in terms of $H_*(H;\ell^\infty(G,\mathbb Z))$, which we then compute.
