On the \(K\)-theory of \(PE_ 6\) (Q1917014)

This paper is devoted to the computation of the real and complex \(K\)-groups of the group \(PE_6\), the quotient of the simply connected exceptional Lie group \(E_6\) by its center, which is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}_3\). The author uses known results on the \(K\)-groups of \(E_6\) and the lens spaces \(L^n(3)\) in his computations. In the complex case, he gives a complete description of the ring structure of \(K^*(PE_6)\), while in the real case \(KO^*(PE_6)\) is described as a module over \(KO^*\) of a point, and a method to compute all multiplicative relations is described.
