The Grothendieck ring of varieties and algebraic $K$-theory of spaces

Oliver Röndigs

Vol. 6 (2025), 165–196
Abstract

Waldhausen’s algebraic K-theory machinery is applied to Morel–Voevodsky 𝔸1-homotopy, producing an interesting 𝔸1-homotopy type. Over a field F of characteristic zero, its path components receive a surjective ring homomorphism from the Grothendieck ring of varieties over F.
