Invariants of several matrices.
Let be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let be a split maximal torus of . Let be an oriented cohomology (algebraic cobordism, connective -theory, Chow groups, Grothendieck’s , etc.) with formal group law . We construct a ring from and the characters of , that we call a formal group ring, and we define a characteristic ring morphism from this formal group ring to where is the variety of Borel subgroups of . Our main result says that when the torsion index...
We construct a variant of Karoubi’s relative Chern character for smooth varieties over and prove a comparison result with Beilinson’s regulator with values in Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of Burgos’ Theorem that for number fields Borel’s regulator is twice Beilinson’s regulator.
