Sheaves and $K$-theory for $\mathbb{F}_1$-schemes (1010.2896v2)

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the open problem in $\mathbb{F}1$-geometry of developing $K$-theory for $\mathbb{F}_1$-schemes. We provide all necessary facts from the theory of monoid actions on pointed sets and we introduce sheaves for $\mathcal{M}_0$-schemes and $\mathbb{F}_1$-schemes in the sense of Connes and Consani. A wide range of results hopefully lies the background for further developments of the algebraic geometry over $\mathbb{F}_1$. Special attention is paid to two aspects particular to $\mathbb{F}_1$-geometry, namely, normal morphisms and locally projective sheaves, which occur when we adopt Quillen's Q-construction to a definition of $G$-theory and $K$-theory for $\mathbb{F}_1$-schemes. A comparison with Waldhausen's $S{\bullet}$-construction yields the ring structure of $K$-theory. In particular, we generalize Deitmar's $K$-theory of monoids and show that $K_*(\Spec\mathbb{F}_1)$ realizes the stable homotopy of the spheres as a ring spectrum.
