We study commutative complex K–theory, a generalised cohomology theory built from spaces of ordered commuting tuples in the unitary groups. We show that the spectrum for commutative complex K–theory is stably equivalent to the ku–group ring of BU(1) and thus obtain a splitting of its representing space BcomU as a product of all the terms in the Whitehead tower for BU, BcomU ≃ BU × BU〈4〉× BU〈6〉×⋯. As a consequence of the spectrum level identification we obtain the ring of coefficients for this theory. Using the rational Hopf ring for BcomU we describe the relationship of our results with a previous computation of the rational cohomology algebra of BcomU. This gives an essentially complete description of the space BcomU introduced by A Adem and J Gómez.
