## The algebraic $$K$$-theory of the classical groups and some twisted forms.(English)Zbl 0798.11009

This paper appeared in preprint form in the MSRI preprint series in 1990.
From the author’s introduction: “Section 1 gives some spectral sequence machinery for computing the homotopy groups on an $$n$$-cube of spectra and applies this to a spectral sequence computing the $$G$$-theory of the complement of closed subsets $$Z_ 1, \dots, Z_ n$$ of a scheme $$Z$$ in terms of the $$G$$-theory of the $$Z_ i$$. This is a generalization of Quillen’s $$G$$-theory localization sequence. We use this in Section 2 to give a spectral sequence for the $$G$$-theory of principal $$(n$$- dimensional) torus bundle $$X$$ over a scheme $$Y$$ in terms of the $$G$$- theory of $$Y$$ as a module over the representation ring $$R(T)$$ of the torus $$T:=Gm^ n \dots$$. Using the topological results of Atiyah- Hirzebruch-Hodgkin [M. Atiyah and F. Hirzebruch, Proc. Sympos. Pure Math. 3, 7-38 (1961; Zbl 0108.177); L. Hodgkin, Topology 6, 1-36 (1967; Zbl 0186.571)], the $$G$$-theory of $$G/T$$ is generated over $$G_ * (S)$$ by the classes of the homogeneous line bundles, which enables us to compute the spectral sequence, and thus the $$G$$-theory of $$G \dots$$. In Section 3, we set up the machinery of Brauer- Severi descent which we then use in Section 4 to extend our computation of the $$K$$-theory of split forms of $$GL_ n$$, $$SL_ n$$, and $$Sp_ n$$ to the nonsplit case (for inner forms) and to some of the principal homogeneous spaces”.
