It is known that the category of Waldhausen categories is a closed symmetric multicategory and algebraic K-theory is a multifunctor from the category of Waldhuasen categories to the category of spectra. By assigning to any Waldhausen category the fundamental groupoid of the 1-type of its K-theory spectrum, we get a functor from the category of Waldhausen categories to the category of Picard groupoids, since stable 1-types are classified by Picard groupoids. We prove that this functor is a multifunctor to a corresponding multicategory of Picard groupoids. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Mathematics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester 2018. / April 10, 2018. / closed structure, K-theory, multifunctor, Picard groupoid, Stable quadratic modules, Waldhausen / Includes bibliographical references. / Ettore Aldrovandi, Professor Directing Dissertation; John Rawling, University Representative; Amod Agashe, Committee Member; Paolo Aluffi, Committee Member; Kate Petersen, Committee Member; Mark van Hoeij, Committee Member.
