The third homology of SL_2 of fields with discrete valuation
arXiv:1204.5709
Abstract
For a field F with discrete valuation and residue field we relate the third homology of SL_2(F) with half-integral coefficients to the third homology of SL_2(k) and a certain refined scissors congruence group of k. As an application, we obtain explicit calculations of the third homology of SL_2 of certain higher-dimensional local fields in terms of scissors congruence groups, in the sense of Dupont and Sah, of the residue fields of the associated valuations.
