Fundamental comparison, base-change, and descent theorems in the K-theory of non-commutative n-ary Gamma-semirings
Abstract
We develop a comparison, base-change, and descent framework for the algebraic K-theory of non-commutative n-ary Γ-semirings. Working in the Quillen-exact (and Waldhausen) setting of bi-finite, slot-sensitive Γ-modules and perfect complexes, we construct functorial maps on K-theory induced by extension and restriction of scalars under explicit Γ-flatness hypotheses in the relevant positional slots. We prove derived Morita invariance (via tilting bimodule complexes), establish Beck-Chevalley type base-change for cartesian squares, and deduce a projection formula compatible with the multiplicative structure coming from positional tensor products. Passing to the non-commutative Γ-spectrum SpecncΓ(T), we show locality for perfect objects and derive Zariski hyperdescent for K(Perf), together with excision and localization sequences for closed immersions and fpqc descent for Γ-flat covers. Finally, we interpret KΓ(X) geometrically as the K-theory of the stable ∞-category of Γ-perfect complexes, describe its universal property in Γ-linear non-commutative motives, and record compatibility with cyclotomic and Chern-type trace maps.
