The algebraic K-theory of k[SL2(𝔽q)]

Abstract

We compute via trace methods the higher algebraic K-theory of the group ring k[SL2(𝔽q)], as well as the related groups PSL2(𝔽q), PGL2(𝔽q), and GL2(𝔽q), where k is a finite field of characteristic p and q=pr. At the core of the computation is the algebraic K-theory of the group ring of the Sylow p-subgroup, k[Cpr], which we determine via a theorem of LΓΌck--Reich--Rognes--Varisco on cyclic assembly for topological cyclic homology. In the process, we reprove the cyclic assembly result in the language of Nikolaus--Scholze, analyse assembly for smaller families of subgroups, and develop further tools for computing topological cyclic homology of group rings.

AB  - We compute via trace methods the higher algebraic K-theory of the group ring k[SL_2(𝔽_q)], as well as the related groups PSL_2(𝔽_q), PGL_2(𝔽_q), and GL_2(𝔽_q), where k is a finite field of characteristic p and q=p^r. At the core of the computation is the algebraic K-theory of the group ring of the Sylow p-subgroup, k[C_p^r], which we determine via a theorem of LΓΌck--Reich--Rognes--Varisco on cyclic assembly for topological cyclic homology. In the process, we reprove the cyclic assembly result in the language of Nikolaus--Scholze, analyse assembly for smaller families of subgroups, and develop further tools for computing topological cyclic homology of group rings.
