We show that the Waldhausen trace map $mathrm{Tr}_X colon A(X) to QX_+$, which defines a natural splitting map from the algebraic $K$-theory of spaces to stable homotopy, is natural up to emph{weak} homotopy with respect to transfer maps in algebraic $K$-theory and Becker-Gottlieb transfer maps respectively.

For a finite volume geodesic polyhedron P in hyperbolic 3-space, with the property that all interior angles between incident faces are integral submultiples of Pi, there is a naturally associated Coxeter group generated by reflections in the faces. Furthermore, this Coxeter group is a lattice inside the isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space, with fundamental domain the original polyhedron P. In this paper, we provide a procedure for computing the lower algebraic K-theory of the integral group ring of such Coxeter lattices in terms of the geometry of the polyhedron P. As an ingredient in the computation, we explicitly calculate some of the lower K-groups of the dihedral groups and the product of dihedral groups with the cyclic group of order two.
For $Gamma$ a relatively hyperbolic group, we construct a model for the universal space among $Gamma$-spaces with isotropy on the family VC of virtually cyclic subgroups of $Gamma$. We provide a recipe for identifying the maximal infinite virtually cyclic subgroups of Coxeter groups which are lattices in $O^+(n,1)= iso(mathbb H^n)$. We use the information we obtain to explicitly compute the lower algebraic K-theory of the Coxeter group $gt$ (a non-uniform lattice in $O^+(3,1)$). Part of this computation involves calculating certain Waldhausen Nil-groups for $mathbb Z[D_2]$, $mathbb Z[D_3]$.
In this note we show that Waldhausens K-theory functor from Waldhausen categories to spaces has a universal property: It is the target of the universal global Euler characteristic, in other words, the additivization of the functor sending a Waldhausen category C to obj(C) . We also show that a large class of functors possesses such an additivization.
We construct a model of differential K-theory, using the geometrically defined Chern forms, whose cocycles are certain equivalence classes of maps into the Grassmannians and unitary groups. In particular, we produce the circle-integration maps for these models using classical homotopy-theoretic constructions, by incorporating certain differential forms which reconcile the incompatibility between these even and odd Chern forms. By the uniqueness theorem of Bunke and Schick, this model agrees with the spectrum-based models in the literature whose abstract Chern cocycles are compatible with the delooping maps on the nose.
For G a finite group and X a G-space on which a normal subgroup A acts trivially, we show that the G-equivariant K-theory of X decomposes as a direct sum of twisted equivariant K-theories of X parametrized by the orbits of the conjugation action of G on the irreducible representations of A. The twists are group 2-cocycles which encode the obstruction of lifting an irreducible representation of A to the subgroup of G which fixes the isomorphism class of the irreducible representation.
