Abstract
We construct a combinatorially defined involution on the algebraic –theory of the ring spectrum associated to a bimonoidal category with anti-involution. Particular examples of such are braided bimonoidal categories. We investigate examples such as , and Waldhausen’s –theory of spaces of the form , for abelian groups . We show that the involution agrees with the classical one for a bimonoidal category associated to a ring and prove that it is not trivial in the above mentioned examples.
