In mathematics, additive K-theory means some version of algebraic K-theory in which, according to Spencer Bloch, the general linear group GL has everywhere been replaced by its Lie algebra gl. It is not, therefore, one theory but a way of creating additive or infinitesimal analogues of multiplicative theories.

Formulation

Following Feigin and Tsygan, let $A$ be an algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and let ${{\mathfrak {g}}l}(A)$ be the algebra of infinite matrices over $A$ with only finitely many nonzero entries. Then the Lie algebra homology

$H_{\cdot }({{\mathfrak {g}}l}(A),k)\,$

has a natural structure of a Hopf algebra. The space of its primitive elements of degree $i$ is denoted by $K_{i}^{+}(A)$ and called the $i$-th additive K-functor of A.

The additive K-functors are related to cyclic homology groups by the isomorphism

$HC_{i}(A)\cong K_{i+1}^{+}(A).\,$
