As the applications, we also determine \\pi_i(\\Sigma K(G,1)) with i=4,5 for some non-abelian groups G=\\Sigma_3 and SL(Z), and \\pi_4(\\Sigma K(A_4,1)) for the 4-th alternating group A_4.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-10-24T04:42:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55Q52", "55P20", "55P40", "55P65", "55Q35" ], "keywords": [ "suspended classifying spaces", "homotopy groups", "baues-goerss spectral sequence", "carlsson simplicial construction", "algebraic k-theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0908.3580M" } } }
