Making use of Gruson–Raynaud’s technique of ‘platification par éclatement’, Kerz and Strunk proved that the negative homotopy $K$-theory groups of a Noetherian scheme
$X$ of Krull dimension
$d$ vanish below
$-d$. In this article, making use of noncommutative algebraic geometry, we improve this result in the case of quotient singularities by proving that the negative homotopy
$K$-theory groups vanish below
$-1$. Furthermore, in the case of cyclic quotient singularities, we provide an explicit ‘upper bound’ for the first negative homotopy
$K$-theory group.
