Abstract:
With any left system of diagram categories or any left pointed dérivateur, a K-theory space is associated. This K-theory space is shown to be canonically an infinite loop space and to have a lot of common properties with Waldhausen's K-theory. A weaker version of additivity is shown. Also, Quillen's K-theory of a large class of exact categories including the Abelian categories is proved to be a retract of the K-theory of the associated dérivateur.
