On Bott-periodic algebraic K-theory.
Let K*(A;Z/ln) denote the mod-ln algebraic K-theory of a Z[1/l]-algebra A. Snaith ([14], [15], [16]) has studied Bott-periodic algebraic theory Ki(A;Z/ln)[1/βn], a localized version of K*(A;Z/ln) obtained by inverting a Bott element βn. For l an odd prime, Snaith has given a description of K*(A;Z/ln)[1/βn] using Adams maps between Moore spectra. These constructions are interesting, in particular for their connections with Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture [16].In this paper we obtain a description...
