Abstract

AbstractBott periodicity for the unitary and symplectic groups is fundamental to topologicalK-theory. Analogous to unitary topologicalK-theory, for algebraicK-groups with finite coefficients, similar results are consequences of the Milnor and Bloch-Kato conjectures, affirmed by Voevodsky, Rost and others. More generally, we prove that periodicity of the algebraicK-groups for any ring implies periodicity for the hermitianK-groups, analogous to orthogonal and symplectic topologicalK-theory.The proofs use in an essential way higherKSC-theories, extending those of Anderson and Green. They also provide an upper bound for the higher hermitianK-groups in terms of higher algebraicK-groups.We also relate periodicity to étale hermitianK-groups by proving a hermitian version of Thomason's étale descent theorem. The results are illustrated in detail for local fields, rings of integers in number fields, smooth complex algebraic varieties, rings of continuous functions on compact spaces, and group rings.
