Homological symbols and the Quillen conjecture.

Abstract: We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking like an unstable form of Milnor K-theory and we call this new theory "homological symbols algebra". As a byproduct we prove the Quillen conjecture in homological degree two for the rank two and the prime 5.


Let \(R=\mathbb{Z}[\tfrac1\ell,\xi_\ell]\) for an odd regular prime \(\ell\), where \(\xi_\ell\) is a primitive \(\ell\)-th root of unity. Consider in the bi-graded algebra \(A=\bigoplus_{i,j=0}^\infty H_i(\text{GL}_j(R),\mathbb{F}_\ell)\) the subspace \(V=H_*(\text{GL}_1(R),\mathbb{F}_\ell)\). The author conjectures that the kernel of the map from the tensor algebra on \(V\) to \(A\) is generated by certain relations coming from \(H_*(\text{GL}_1(R)^{\times 2},\mathbb{F}_\ell)\). Now take \(\ell=5\). Using the computer algebra system GAP the author confirms the conjecture for this \(\ell\) and computes both \(H_2(\text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\tfrac15,\xi_5]),\mathbb{F}_5)\) and \(H_2(\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac15,\xi_5]),\mathbb{F}_5)\).
