Abstract

We develop a theory of $THH$ and $TC$ of Waldhausen categories and prove the analogues of Waldhausen’s theorems for $K$-theory. We resolve the longstanding confusion about localization sequences in $THH$ and $TC$, and establish a specialized dévissage theorem. As applications, we prove conjectures of Hesselholt and Ausoni-Rognes about localization cofiber sequences surrounding $THH(ku)$, and more generally establish a framework for advancing the Rognes program for studying Waldhausen’s chromatic filtration on $A(*)$.
