Borel's computation of the ranks of $K$-theory revisited

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We reprove Borel's computation of the rank of the $K$-groups of rings of algebraic integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ for certain number fields, e.g., $F = \mathbb{Q}(μ_{l^k})$ for $l$ an odd regular prime number. The idea is to recover a simple formula for $l$-adic {é}tale cohomology groups of $\mathcal{O}_F$ in terms of Iwasawa theoretic objects without using Borel's result as an input.
