Abstract
The trace from algebraic K-theory to topological Hochschild homology is introduced. This is expressed as an inclusion of fixed points by a group action of the circle on topological Hochschild homology. The equivalence of stable K-theory with topological Hochschild homology is then proved to be induced by the trace map.
