Shuffle products in higher \(K\)-theory (Q1318782): Difference between revisions

Shuffle products appeared in the Eilenberg-MacLane homology theory of groups. The geometric origin is connected with a systematic simplicial decomposition of a product of simplices. The simplest case arises in the case of a simplicial decomposition of a \(d\)-dimensional torus. The \(\lambda\)-ring structure on the higher \(K\)-theory of a scheme \(X\) is the basic prerequisite to formulate and to prove Riemann-Roch type theorems in higher \(K\)-theory and to define motivic cohomology. The object of this paper is to study the \(\lambda\)-structure not only on the higher \(K\)- group \(K_ q(X)\), but already on the topological space (respectively on the simplicial set) whose homotopy groups are the higher \(K\)-groups.
