Nontriviality of SK1 (R [MJ)

The main result of this paper is as follows: For any commutative regular (actually even K2-regular) ring R and any finitely generated intermediate monoid ZP+ c A4 c Q’+ (for some natural r) the following conditions are equivalent: (a) A4 zE:, (b) R[M] is K,-regular, (c) M is seminormal and SK,(R) = SK,(R[M]) (i.e. the natural homomorphism SK,(R) -SK,(R[M]) is an isomorphism), and, if in additio...

The first facet of our study was that although initially (at 1 month), neointima formation in vein grafts was inhibited by perivenous application of fibrin glue at the time of implantation, at 4 months neointimal formation was not significantly different from controls [1]. Dr Schachner has implied that ...
