We describe the third homology of SL_2 of local rings over Z[1/2] in terms of a refined Bloch group. We use this to derive a localization sequence for the third homology of SL_2 of certain discrete valuation rings, and to make explicit…

We use the properties of the refined Bloch group of a field to prove that H_3 of SL_2 of a global field is never finitely generated, and to calculate - up to some 2-torsion - H_3 of SL_2 of local fields with finite residue field of odd…

We introduce a refinement of the Bloch-Wigner complex of a field F. This is a complex of modules over the multiplicative group of the field. Instead of computing K_2 and indecomposable K_3 - as the classical Bloch-Wigner complex does - it…

In this article we study the first, the second and the third homology groups of the elementary group $\textrm{E}_2(A)$, where $A$ is a commutative ring. In particular, we prove a refined Bloch-Wigner type exact sequence over a semilocal…

In this article we prove a generalization of the Bloch-Wigner exact sequence over commutative rings with many units. When the ring is a domain, we get a generalization of Suslin's Bloch-Wigner exact sequence over infinite fields. Our proof…

Let $A$ be a local domain of characteristic $2$ such that its residue field has more than $64$ elements. Then we find an exact relation between the third integral homology of the group $\mathrm{SL}_2(A)$ and Hutchinson's refined Bloch group…

In this article we extend the Bloch-Wigner exact sequence over local rings, where their residue fields have more than nine elements. Moreover, we prove Van der Kallen's theorem on the presentation of the second $K$-group of local rings such…

There is a natural connection between the third homology of $\textrm{SL}_2(A)$ and the refined Bloch group $\mathcal{RB}(A)$ of a commutative ring $A$. In this article we investigate this connection and as the main result we show that if…

In this paper, we compare the two definitions of Bloch group, and survey the elements in Bloch group. We confirm the Lichtenbaum conjecture on the field $Q(\zeta_p)$ under the assumption the truth of the base of the Bloch group of…

Given an element of the Bloch group of a number field~$F$ and a natural number~$n$, we construct an explicit unit in the field $F_n=F(e^{2 \pi i/n})$, well-defined up to $\nn$-th powers of nonzero elements of~$F_n$. The construction uses…

For a commutative ring R with many units, we describe the kernel of H_3(inc): H_3(GL_2(R), Z) --> H_3(GL_3(R), Z). Moreover we show that the elements of this kernel are of order at most two. As an application we study the indecomposable…

We improve homological stability ranges for the orthogonal group, special orthogonal group, elementary orthogonal group and the spin group over a commutative local ring $R$ with infinite residue field such that $2 \in R^{*}$.

For an isotropic reductive group G satisfying a suitable rank condition over an infinite field k, we show that the sections of the $\mathbb{A}^1$-fundamental group sheaf of G over an extension field L/k can be identified with the second…

We introduce and study model-theoretic connected components of rings as an analogue of model-theoretic connected components of definable groups. We develop their basic theory and use them to describe both the definable and classical Bohr…

More than 50 years ago, Laszlo Fuchs asked which abelian groups can be the group of units of a commutative ring. Though progress has been made, the question remains open. We provide an answer to this question in the case of indecomposable…

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

We argue that rational conformally invariant quantum field theories in two dimensions are closely related to torsion elements of the algebraic K-theory group K_3(C). If such a theory has an integrable matrix perturbation with purely elastic…

Let $R$ be a commutative local ring. We provide an explicit presentation of the symmetric Grothendieck-Witt ring $\mathrm{GW}^{\mathrm{s}}(R)$ of $R$ as an abelian group when $R$ has residue field $\mathbb{F}_2$. This completes a recent…

In \cite[Problem 72]{Fuchs60} Fuchs asked the following question: which groups can be the group of units of a commutative ring? In the following years, some partial answers have been given to this question in particular cases. The aim of…

For an Abelian group $G$, any homomorphism $\mu\colon G\otimes G\rightarrow G$ is called a \textsf{multiplication} on $G$. The set $\text{Mult}\,G$ of all multiplications on an Abelian group $G$ is an Abelian group with respect to addition.…
