On the cyclotomic elements in K₂ of a rational function field

Kejian Xu, Chaochao Sun, Shanjie Chi (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

If l is a prime number, the cyclotomic elements in the l-torsion of K₂(k(x)), where k(x) is the rational function field over k, are investigated. As a consequence, a conjecture of Browkin is partially confirmed.

On the exponent of the cokernel of the forget-control map on K₀-groups

Francis X. Connolly, Stratos Prassidis (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For groups that satisfy the Isomorphism Conjecture in lower K-theory, we show that the cokernel of the forget-control K₀-groups is composed by the NK₀-groups of the finite subgroups. Using this information, we can calculate the exponent of each element in the cokernel in terms of the torsion of the group.

On the index of nonlocal elliptic operators for compact Lie groups

Anton Savin (2011)

Open Mathematics

We consider a class of nonlocal operators associated with a compact Lie group G acting on a smooth manifold. A notion of symbol of such operators is introduced and an index formula for elliptic elements is obtained. The symbol in this situation is an element of a noncommutative algebra (crossed product by G) and to obtain an index formula, we define the Chern character for this algebra in the framework of noncommutative geometry.

On the K-theory of the C * -algebra generated by the left regular representation of an Ore semigroup

Joachim Cuntz, Siegfried Echterhoff, Xin Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We compute the K -theory of C * -algebras generated by the left regular representation of left Ore semigroups satisfying certain regularity conditions. Our result describes the K -theory of these semigroup C * -algebras in terms of the K -theory for the reduced group C * -algebras of certain groups which are typically easier to handle. Then we apply our result to specific semigroups from algebraic number theory.
