On the topological cyclic homology of the algebraic closure of a local field

The cyclotomic trace provides a comparison of the algebraic K-theory spectrum and a pro-spectrum TR that is built from the cyclic fixed points of topological Hochschild homology. In a previous paper with Ib Madsen, we used this comparison and an approximate evaluation of the structure of the pro-spectrum TR to evaluate the p-adic K-groups of a local field K of mixed characteristic (0,p) with perfect residue field. In this paper we completly determine the structure of the pro-spectrum TR for an algebrac closure of the local field K. This leads us to formulate a conjecture for the structure of the pro-spectrum TR for the field K. We also determine the structure of the absolute de Rham-Witt complex of the valuation ring R in the algebraic closure of K. The group in degree one is a p-divisible group whose Tate module is free module of rank one over the ring of Witt vectors in R. We give an explicit generator of this Tate module.

The de Rham-Witt complex and p-adic vanishing cycles

We determine the structure modulo p of the de Rham-Witt complex of a smooth scheme X over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic with log-poles along the special fiber Y and show that the sub-sheaf fixed by the Frobenius is isomorphic to the sheaf of p-adic vanishing cycles. We use this together with results of the second author and Madsen to evaluate the $K$-theory with finite coefficients of the quotient field K of the henselian local ring of X at a generic point of Y. The result affirms the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for the field K.

On the K-theory of local fields

The authors establish a connection between the Quillen K-theory of certain local fields and the de Rham-Witt complex of their rings of integers with logarithmic poles at the maximal ideal. They consider fields K that are complete discrete valuation fields of characteristic zero with perfect residue fields k of characteristic p > 2. They evaluate the K-theory with Z/p^v-coefficients of K, and verify the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for K.

Algebraic K-theory and trace invariants

The cyclotomic trace of Bökstedt-Hsiang-Madsen, the subject of Bökstedt's lecture at the congress in Kyoto, is a map of pro-abelian groups K_*(A) -> TR_*^.(A;p) from Quillen's algebraic K-theory to a topological refinement of Connes' cyclic homology. Over the last decade, our understanding of the target and its relation to K-theory has been significantly advanced. This and possible future development is the topic of my lecture.
