The point of this paper is to prove the conjecture that virtual 2‐vector bundles are classified by K(ku), the algebraic K‐theory of topological K‐theory. Hence, by the work of Ausoni and the fourth author, virtual 2‐vector bundles give us a geometric cohomology theory of the same telescopic complexity as elliptic cohomology. The main technical step is showing that for well‐behaved small rig categories ℛ (also known as bimonoidal categories), the algebraic K‐theory space, K(Hℛ), of the ring spectrum Hℛ associated to ℛ is equivalent to κ(ℛ) ≃ ℤ ×|BGL(ℛ)|+, where GL(ℛ) is the monoidal category of weakly invertible matrices over ℛ. The title refers to the sharper result that BGL(ℛ) is equivalent to BGL(Hℛ). If π0ℛ is a ring, this is almost formal, and our approach is to replace ℛ by a ring completed version, ℛ¯ , provided by Baas, Dundas, Richter, and Rognes [J. reine angew. Math., to appear] with Hℛ ≃ H ℛ¯ and π0 ℛ¯ the ring completion of π0ℛ. The remaining step is then to show that ‘stable ℛ ‐bundles’ and ‘stable ℛ¯ ‐bundles’ are the same, which is done by a hands‐on contraction of a custom‐built model for the difference between BGL(ℛ) and BGL( ℛ¯ ).
