On the generalized Bykovskii presentation of Steinberg modules

Abstract

We study presentations of the virtual dualizing modules of special linear groups of number rings, the Steinberg modules. Bykovskii gave a presentation for the Steinberg modules of the integers, and our main result is a generalization of this presentation to the Gaussian integers and the Eisenstein integers. We also show that this generalization does not give a presentation for the Steinberg modules of several Euclidean number rings.
