Kevin Hutchinson and Liqun Tao: The third homology of the special linear group of a field

Submission: 2008, Aug 7

We prove that for any infinite field stability for the third homology of the special linear group begins at n=3, and that the cokernel at the previous step is the square of Milnor K-theory. We discuss applications to indecomposable K_3 and to Milnor-Witt K-theory.
