Abstract

Let A be the coordinate ring of an affine elliptic curve (over an infinite field k) of the form X – {p}, where X is projective and p is a closed point on X. Denote by F the function field of X. We show that the image of H.(GL2 (A), ℤ) in H.(GL2 (F), ℤ) coincides with the image of H.(GL2 (k), ℤ). As a consequence, we obtain numerous results about the K-theory of A and X. For example, if k is a number field, we show that r2 (K2 (A) ⊗ ℚ) = 0, where rm denotes the mth level of the rank filtration.
