Nov 14, 2012 at 1:17 comment added Will Sawin Yes, that's roughly how I think about them. Indeed, one can view the overlap between constructions 1 and 3 as the K-theory of the semisimple Lie group $SL_2 \times SL_2$. I chose this way for its compactness of presentation, but opinions on which is best can of course differ.
Nov 13, 2012 at 20:27 comment added Ben Wieland (1) I think it's better to overcount and explicitly prune, that is, to add an extra instance to construction 2, the same as the $D_4$ invariants, and to add an extra instance to construction 3, which appears in construction 1; (2) you can identify these seven examples with the seven reflection groups in $GL_2(\mathbb Z)$ by saying that the ring of invariants is a localization of the lambda-ring. But that isn't a construction, so you still need all three constructions.
