We show that the characteristic polynomial and the Lefschetz zeta function are manifestations of the trace map from the $K$-theory of endomorphisms to topological restriction homology (TR). Along the way we generalize Lindenstrauss and McCarthys map from $K$-theory of endomorphisms to topological restriction homology, defining it for any Waldhausen category with a compatible enrichment in orthogonal spectra. In particular, this extends their construction from rings to ring spectra. We also give a revisionist treatment of the original Dennis trace map from $K$-theory to topological Hochschild homology (THH) and explain its connection to traces in bicategories with shadow (also known as trace theories).

We show that Mandells inverse $K$-theory functor is a categorically-enriched multifunctor. In particular, it preserves algebraic structures parametrized by operads. As applications, we describe how ring categories, bipermutative categories, braided ring categories, and $E_n$-monoidal categories arise as the images of inverse $K$-theory.
We prove a multiplicative version of the equivariant Barratt-Priddy-Quillen theorem, starting from the additive version proven in arXiv:1207.3459. The proof uses a multiplicative elaboration of an additive equivariant infinite loop space machine that manufactures orthogonal $G$-spectra from symmetric monoidal $G$-categories. The new machine produces highly structured associative ring and module $G$-spectra from appropriate multiplicative input. It relies on new operadic multicategories that are of considerable independent interest and are defined in a general, not necessarily equivariant or topological, context. Most of our work is focused on constructing and comparing them. We construct a multifunctor from the multicategory of symmetric monoidal $G$-categories to the multicategory of orthogonal $G$-spectra. With this machinery in place, we prove that the equivariant BPQ theorem can be lifted to a multiplicative equivalence. That is the heart of what is needed for the presheaf reconstruction of the category of $G$-spectra in arXiv:1110.3571.
We establish an equivalence of homotopy theories between symmetric monoidal bicategories and connective spectra. For this, we develop the theory of $Gamma$-objects in 2-categories. In the course of the proof we establish strictfication results of independent interest for symmetric monoidal bicategories and for diagrams of 2-categories.
We give an explicit point-set construction of the Dennis trace map from the $K$-theory of endomorphisms $Kmathrm{End}(mathcal{C})$ to topological Hochschild homology $mathrm{THH}(mathcal{C})$ for any spectral Waldhausen category $mathcal{C}$. We describe the necessary technical foundations, most notably a well-behaved model for the spectral category of diagrams in $mathcal{C}$ indexed by an ordinary category via the Moore end. This is applied to define a version of Waldhausens $S_{bullet}$-construction for spectral Waldhausen categories, which is central to this account of the Dennis trace map. Our goals are both convenience and transparency---we provide all details except for a proof of the additivity theorem for $mathrm{THH}$, which is taken for granted---and the exposition is concerned not with originality of ideas, but rather aims to provide a useful resource for learning about the Dennis trace and its underlying machinery.
Using a construction closely related to Waldhausens $S_bullet$-construction, we produce a spectrum $K(mathbf{Var}_{/k})$ whose components model the Grothendieck ring of varieties (over a field $k$) $K_0 (mathbf{Var}_{/k})$. We then produce liftings of various motivic measures to spectrum-level maps, including maps into Waldhausens $K$-theory of spaces $A(ast)$ and to $K(mathbf{Q})$. We end with a conjecture relating $K(mathbf{Var}_{/k})$ and the doubly-iterated $K$-theory of the sphere spectrum.
