Abstract

Let GG be an elementary abelian pp-group. In this paper, we calculate the K2K_2-groups of some quotient rings Z[G]/I\mathbb{Z}[G]/I for certain ideals IZ[G]I \subseteq \mathbb{Z}[G] of finite pp-power index. These results are established through the explicit computation of Dennis-Stein symbols. As an application, we provide a definitive characterization of the relative group SK1(Z[G],pkZ[G])SK_1(\mathbb{Z}[G], p^k\mathbb{Z}[G]) for any odd prime pp and k1k \ge 1.
