An infinity-operad is a dendroidal set D satisfying certain lifting conditions. In this paper we give a definition of K-groups K_n(D) for a dendroidal set D. These groups generalize the K-theory of symmetric monoidal (resp. permutative) categories and algebraic K-theory of rings. We establish some useful properties like invariance under the appropriate equivalences and long exact sequences which allow us to compute these groups in some examples. We show that the K-theory groups of D can be realized as homotopy groups of a K-theory spectrum K(D).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-09T11:26:03.000Z", "comment": "22 pages", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-09-03T07:49:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "algebraic k-theory", "dendroidal set", "infinity-operad", "homotopy coherent operads", "long exact sequences" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.2198N" } } }
