Abstract: In this article we prove a generalization of the Bloch-Wigner exact sequence over commutative rings with many units. When the ring is a domain, we get a generalization of Suslin's Bloch-Wigner exact sequence over infinite fields. Our proof is different and is easier, even in its general form. But nevertheless we use some of Suslin's results which relates the Bloch group of the ring to the third homology group of the general linear group of the ring. From there we take an easier path.


In [\textit{B. Mirzaii}, Math. Z. 268, No. 1--2, 329--346 (2011; Zbl 1229.20042); erratum 275, No. 1--2, 653--655 (2013; Zbl 1279.20060)] an analogue of the Bloch-Wigner sequence was established for rings with many units, with \(K_3^{\text{ind}}(R)\) replaced by some cohomology group. In this article \(K_3^{\text{ind}}(R)\) regains its place. Assume there is a homomorphism \(R \to F\), \(F\) a field, such that \(\mu(R) \to \mu(F)\) is injective (e.g. \(R\) a domain). Then a Bloch-Wigner exact sequence of Suslin, which was originally proved for \(F\), is now also proved for \(R\).
