nLab additive K-theory

Term additive K-theory is a synonym for cyclic homology, used in early articles mainly of Russian and a bit by French school. Sometimes, additive K-theory denotes more specifially a different packing of cyclic homology, namely with appropriately shifted degrees (see the reference by Loday-Quillen at Loday-Quillen-Tsygan theorem and the article by Kuribayashi below).

Additive K-theory is also a title of a historical article

  • Boris Tsygan, Boris Feigin, Additive K-theory, in K-theory, arithmetic and geometry, LNM 1289 (1987), edited by Yu. I. Manin, pp. 67–209, seminar 1984-1986 in Moscow), MR89a:18017

The additive K-theory is here studied in relation to the algebraic K-theory and Hochschild homology. Like there is a K-theory spectrum, one also constructs an additive K-theory/cyclic homology spectrum.
