The authors characterize the topological Dennis trace map and the cyclotomic trace map. The techniques are from the noncommutative theory of motives and the homotopy theory of \(E_\infty\) categories and exact functors. More precisely, let \(Cat_\infty^{perf}\) denote the \(\infty\)-category of small idempotent-complete stable \(\infty\)-categories and exact functors. Let \(\mathcal{S}_\infty\) denote the stable \(\infty\)-category of spectra. As applications of their techniques, they have the following Theorem 7.3. The space of maps of \(E_\infty\) algebras from \(K\) to \(THH\) in \(Fun_{add}(Cat_\infty^{perf},\mathcal{S}_\infty)^\otimes\) is contractible. Equivalently, the space of natural transformations of lax symmetric monodical functors from \(K\to THH\) in \(Fun_{add}^{lax}(Cat_\infty^{perf},\mathcal{S}_\infty)\) is contractible. The unique element of this space is the topological Dennis trace map. Here \(K\) denotes the non-connective algebraic \(K\)-theory spectrum and \(THH\) topological Hochschild homology. The next case is that of the cyclotomic trace: Theorem 7.4. The space of maps of \(E_\infty\) algebras from \(K\to TC^n\) in \(Fun_{add}(Cat_\infty^{perf},\mathcal{S}_\infty)^\otimes\) is contractible. The unique homotopy class of maps of \(E_\infty\) algebras in \(Fun_{add}(Cat_\infty^{perf},\mathcal{S}_\infty)^\otimes\) from \(K\) to \(TC\) that restricts to maps of \(E_\infty\) algebras \(K\to TC^n\) is the cyclotomic trace.
