Abstract: Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let f(t,n) be the stabilization homomorphism from the n-th integral homology of SL(t,F) to the n-th homology of SL(t+1,F). We prove the following results: For all n, f(t,n) is an isomorphism if t is at least n+1, and is surjective for t=n, confirming a conjecture of C-H. Sah. Furthermore if n is odd, then f(n,n) is an isomorphism and when n is even the kernel of f(n,n) is the (n+1)st power of the fundamental ideal of the Witt Ring of the field.. If n is even, then the cokernel of f(n-1,n) is naturally isomorphic to the n-th Milnor-Witt K-group of F, MWK(n,F) and when n>2 is odd the cokernel of f(n-1,n) is the square of the nth Milnor K-group of F.

Review text

Let \(F\) be a field of characteristic zero and let \(f_{t,n}\) be the stabilization homomorphism from the \(n\)th integral homology of \(\mathrm{SL}_t(F)\) to the \(n\)th integral homology of \(\mathrm{SL}_{t+1}(F)\). The authors obtain the following results. For all \(n, f_{t,n}\) is an isomorphism if \(t\geq n+1\) and is surjective for \(t=n\), confirming a conjecture of \textit{C.-H. Sah}. If \(t=n,\) then \(f_{n,n}\) is an isomorphism when \(n\) is odd and when \(n\) is even the kernel is isomorphic to the \((n+1)\)st power of the fundamental ideal of the Witt ring of \(F\). When \(n\) is even the cokernel of \(f_{n-1,n}\) is isomorphic to the \(n\)th Milnor-Witt \(K\)-theory group of \(F\). When \(n\) is odd, the cokernel of \(f_{n-1,n}\) is isomorphic to the square of the \(n\)th Milnor \(K\)-group of \(F\).
