Higher wild kernels and divisibility in the K-theory of number fields

The higher wild kernels are finite subgroups of the even K-groups of a number field F, generalizing Tate's wild kernel for K 2 . Each wild kernel contains the subgroup of divisible elements, as a subgroup of index at most two. We determine when they are equal, i.e., when the wild kernel is divi...

Description
Summary:The higher wild kernels are finite subgroups of the even K-groups of a number field F, generalizing Tate's wild kernel for K 2 . Each wild kernel contains the subgroup of divisible elements, as a subgroup of index at most two. We determine when they are equal, i.e., when the wild kernel is divisible in K-theory.
