The lower algebraic K-theory of Fuchsian groups
Tóm tắt
Let
$ \Gamma $
be a cocompact Fuchsian group. We calculate the lower algebraic K-theory of the integral group ring
$ {\Bbb Z} \Gamma $
and find an explicit formula for
$ {\rm K}_{i}({\Bbb Z}\Gamma),\,i \le 1 $
, in terms of the lower K-groups of maximal finite cyclic subgroups of
$ \Gamma $
.
