Nov 4, 2009 at 22:09 comment added Andy Putman Continuing my previous comment. Anyway, I needed these types of results about a year ago and I consulted a number of experts. None of them knew about Mike's calculations! I ended up finding them after spending untold hours browsing through mathscinet. The paper I referred to above is one of the later papers in this sequence.
Nov 4, 2009 at 21:51 comment added Andy Putman Mike published a bunch of wonderful papers in the 70's working out analogues of the classical algebraic K-groups (ie K_0, K_1, and K_2) for Chevalley groups over general rings. They contain a number of very nice calculations that don't seem to be as well-known as they should be. For instance, a consequence of his work is that H_2 of Sp_{2g}(Z/LZ) is 0 as long as L is not divisible by 4 (I do not know if it is known what happens when L is divisible by 4). For L a prime, this was originally due to Steinberg.
