Computing Borel's Regulator

Computing Borel's Regulator
Computing Borel's Regulator
We present an infinite series formula based on the Karoubi-Hamida integral, for the
universal Borel class evaluated on H_{2n+1}(GL(C)). For a cyclotomic field F we define
a canonical set of elements in K_3(F) and present a novel approach (based on a free
differential calculus) to constructing them. Indeed, we are able to explicitly construct
their images in H_3(GL(C)) under the Hurewicz map. Applying our formula to these
images yields a value V_1(F), which coincides with the Borel regulator R1(F) when our
set is a basis of K_3(F) modulo torsion. For F = Q(e^{2?i/3}) a computation of V_1(F) has
been made based on our techniques.

Abstract

We present an infinite series formula based on the Karoubi-Hamida integral, for the
universal Borel class evaluated on H_{2n+1}(GL(C)). For a cyclotomic field F we define
a canonical set of elements in K_3(F) and present a novel approach (based on a free
differential calculus) to constructing them. Indeed, we are able to explicitly construct
their images in H_3(GL(C)) under the Hurewicz map. Applying our formula to these
images yields a value V_1(F), which coincides with the Borel regulator R1(F) when our
set is a basis of K_3(F) modulo torsion. For F = Q(e^{2?i/3}) a computation of V_1(F) has
been made based on our techniques.
