Abstract

We construct an example of a torus TT over a field KK for which the Galois symbol K(K;T,T)/nK(K;T,T)H2(K,T[n]T[n])K(K; T,T)/n K(K; T,T) \to H^2(K, T[n]\otimes T[n]) is not injective for some nn. Here K(K;T,T)K(K; T,T) is the Milnor KK-group attached to TT introduced by Somekawa. We show also that the motive M(T×T)M(T\times T) gives a counterexample to another generalization of the Milnor-Bloch-Kato conjecture (proposed by Beilinson).
