On Two-primary Algebraic K-theory of Quadratic Number Rings with Focus on K2
We give explicit formulas for the 2-rank of the algebraic K-groups of quadratic number rings. A 4-rank formula for K2 of quadratic number rings given in [1] provides further information about the actual group structure. The K2 calculations are based on 2and 4rank formulas for Picard groups of quadratic number fields. These formulas are derived in a completely elementary way from the classical 2...
متن کاملOn the 2-primary Part of K2 of Rings of Integers in Certain Quadratic Number Fields
For quadratic fields whose discriminant has few prime divisors, there are explicit formulas for the 4-rank of K2OE . For quadratic fields whose discriminant has arbitarily many prime divisors, the formulas are less explicit. In this paper we will study fields of the form Q[ √ p1 · · · pk], where the primes pi are all congruent to 1 mod 8. We will prove a theorem conjectured by Conner and Hurrel...
متن کاملAlgebraic K-theory of Monoid Rings
Are all finitely generated projective k[t1, . . . , td]-modules free for an arbitrary field k and arbitrary d ∈ N? This question, set in Serre’s famous paper FAC in 1955, inspired an enormous activity of algebraists worldwide. The activity culminated in two independent confirmations of the question in 1976 by Quillen and Suslin. In the meanwhile the algebraic K-theory was created, in which one ...

The first section of this paper defines and studies a graded ring K . F associated to any field F. By definition, K~F is the target group of the universal n-linear function from F ~ x ... • F ~ to an additive group, satisfying the condition that al • " ' x a, should map to zero whenever a i -q-a i + ~ = 1. Here F ~ denotes the multiplicative group F 0 . Section 2 constructs a homomorphism ~: K,...
متن کاملAlgebraic and Hermitian K-theory of K-rings
The main purpose of the present article is to establish the real case of “Karoubi’s Conjecture” [20] in algebraic K-theory. The complex case was proved in 1990-91 (cf. [32] for the C∗-algebraic form of the conjecture, and [38] for both the Banach and C∗-algebraic forms). Compared to the case of complex algebras, the real case poses additional difficulties. This is due to the fact that topologic...
