The spectrum of units of algebraic K-theory

It is well known that the [ 0 , 1 ] and [ 0 , 2 ] Postnikov truncations of the units of the topological K -theories 𝔤 𝔩 1 ⁢ K O and 𝔤 𝔩 1 ⁢ K U , respectively, are split, and that the splitting is provided by the ( ℤ / 2 -graded) line bundles. In this paper we give a similar spli...
