Abstract:
Group homology spectral sequences are used to investigate ${K_3}$ of truncated polynomial rings. If $F$ is a finite field of odd characteristic, we show that relative ${K_2}$ of the pair $(F\left [ t \right ]/({t^q}), ({t^k}))$, which has been identified by van der Kallen and Stienstra, is isomorphic to ${K_3}(F\left [ t \right ]/({t^k}), (t))$ when $q$ is sufficiently large. We also show that ${H_3}({\text {SL}} {\mathbf {Z}}\left [ t \right ]/({t^k});{\mathbf {Z}}) = {{\mathbf {Z}}^{k - 1}} \oplus {\mathbf {Z}}/24$ and is isomorphic to the associated ${K_3}$ group modulo an elementary abelian $2$-group.References
