Abstract: Waldhausen's K-theory of the sphere spectrum (closely related to the algebraic K-theory of the integers) is a naturally augmented S0-algebra, and so has a Koszul dual. Classic work of Deligne and Goncharov implies an identification of the rationalization of this (covariant) dual with the Hopf algebra of functions on the motivic group for their category of mixed Tate motives over . This paper argues that the rationalizations of categories of non-commutative motives defined recently by Blumberg, Gepner, and Tabuada consequently have natural enrichments, with morphism objects in the derived category of mixed Tate motives over . We suggest that homotopic descent theory lifts this structure to define a category of motives defined not over but over the sphere ring-spectrum S0.


The aim of this paper is to provide a homotopical interpretation of the derived category of the category of mixed Tate motives over \(\mathbb Z\) in the sense of [\textit{P. Deligne} and \textit{A. B. Goncharov}, Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 38, No. 1, 1--56 (2005; Zbl 1084.14024)]. The main result states that this derived category is equivalent to the homotopy category of module spectra over \(K(S^0) \otimes \mathbb Q\), the rationalized algebraic \(K\)-theory of the sphere spectrum. To establish this equivalence, the author constructs an isomorphism \[ \mathbb Q \oplus kO_*[1] \otimes \mathbb Q \to K_*(S^0) \otimes \mathbb Q \] and uses a Koszul duality result of K. Hess. The author discusses the relationship of the present paper to work in various mathematical fields, including work of Kitchloo on symplectic manifolds [\textit{N. Kitchloo}, Contemp. Math. 620, 251--279 (2014; Zbl 1351.53093)] and work of Blumberg, Gepner and Tabuada [\textit{A. J. Blumberg} et al., Geom. Topol. 17, No. 2, 733--838 (2013; Zbl 1267.19001)] on characterizations of algebraic \(K\)-theory.
