On Milnor K-groups attached to semi-Abelian varieties (Q2640658)

The author defines and studies a Milnor K-group \(K(k,G_ 1,...,G_ r)\) attached to a finite family of semi-Abelian varieties \(G_ 1,...,G_ r\) over a field k. (The definition is due to \textit{K. Kato}.) This K-group is a generalization of the usual Milnor K-group. Namely, it coincides with the usual Milnor K-group \(K^ M_ r(k)\) when \(G_ 1=...=G_ r=G_ m.\) Some applications to arithmetic are given. For elliptic curves \(E_ 1\) and \(E_ 2\) over an algebraically closed field k the K-group \(K(k,E_ 1,E_ 2)\) is isomorphic to the Albanese kernel of the Abelian variety \(E_ 1\times_ kE_ 2\). If J is the Jacobian variety of a projective smooth curve X over a field k, then \(K(k,J,G_ m)\) is isomorphic to the group V(X) defined by \textit{S. Bloch} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 114, 229-265 (1981; Zbl 0512.14009)]. The author generalizes the result of S. Bloch as a theorem which relates \(K(k,A,G_ m)\) with A a semi-Abelian variety over a number field k to the galois coinvariants of the Tate module of A.
