Adams operations on higher arithmetic \(K\)-theory (Q963069)

Let \(X\) be a proper arithmetic variety over the ring of integers \(\mathbb{Z}\). There are two different ways to define the higher arithmetic \(K\)-groups of \(X\). One was given by Takeda, by means of the homotopy groups modified by the representative of the Beilinson regulator. The other one was suggested by Deligne and Soulé, by means of the homotopy groups of the homotopy fibre of the regulator map. It is the aim of the paper under review to endow these two kinds of higher arithmetic \(K\)-groups (tensored by \(\mathbb{Q}\)) with pre-\(\lambda\)-ring structures, by constructing corresponding Adams operations. The author has also shown that this \(\lambda\)-ring structure is compatible with the usual \(\lambda\)-ring structure on the algebraic \(K\)-groups. The strategy the author followed was to find a representative of the Adams operations in algebraic \(K\)-theory, in terms of a chain morphism, which commutes with the representative of the Beilinson regulator.
