Segal K-theory factors through Waldhausen categories

Abstract

We show that Segal's K-theory of symmetric monoidal categorizes can be factored through Waldhausen categories. In particular, given a symmetric monoidal category C, we produce a Waldhausen category (C) whose K-theory is weakly equivalent to the Segal K-theory of C. As a consequence, we show that every connective spectrum may be obtained via Waldhausen K-theory.
