Abstract: Let G be a simply connected compact Lie group and T its maximal torus. We compute the graded ring gr_{gamma}(G/T) associated with the gamma filtration of the complex K-theory K(G/T). We use the Chow ring of the corresponding versal flag variety.


From the introduction: Let \(p\) be a prime number. Let \({K^*}_{top}(X)\) be the complex \(K\)-theory localized at \(p\) for a topological space \(X\). There are two typical filtrations for \({K^0}_{top}(X)\), the topological filtration defined by \textit{M. F. Atiyah} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 9, 247--288 (1961; Zbl 0107.02303)] and the \(\gamma\)-filtration defined by Grothendieck. Let us write by \({gr^*}_{top}(X)\) and \({gr^*}_{\gamma}(X)\) the associated graded rings for these filtrations. Let \(G\) and \(T\) be a connected compact Lie group and its maximal torus. Then \({gr^*}_{top}(G/T)\simeq {H^*}(G/T)_{(p)}\). However when \({H^*}(G)\) has \(p\)-torsion, it is not isomorphic to \({gr^*}_{\gamma}(G/T)\). In this paper, we try to compute \({gr^*}_{\gamma}(G/T)\) using the Chow rings of corresponding versal flag varieties.
