Abstract

We study the topological $K$-theory spectrum of the $\operatorname{dg}$ singularity category associated to a weighted projective complete intersection. We calculate the topological $K$-theory of the $\operatorname{dg}$ singularity category of a weighted projective hypersurface in terms of its affine Milnor fiber and monodromy operator, and, as an application, we obtain a lift of the Atiyah–Bott–Shapiro construction to the level of spectra.

Keywords
