Approximating \(K_ *(\mathbb{Z})\) through degree five (Q690347): Difference between revisions

The paper continues the computations of the higher \(K\)-groups of the rational integers \(\mathbb{Z}\). By means of a certain poset spectral sequence, assuming a conjecture about the rate of convergence of the filtration, the author concludes that \(K_ 4(\mathbb{Z}) = 0\) and \(K_ 5(\mathbb{Z})\) is the free Borel summand plus two-torsion of order at most eight [cf. \textit{W. Dwyer} and \textit{E. Friedlander}, Contemp. Math. 55, 135-147 (1986; Zbl 0592.18009)].
