Sep 11, 2023 at 6:19 comment added user443060 Ok so since $R$ is commutative $K_0(R) \cong H_0(R) \oplus \tilde{K_0(R))}$, and what you have shown is for $R = k[t^2,t^3,s]$.
Sep 10, 2023 at 12:17 comment added user443060 I just wanted to clarify one thing, how did we show that $K_0(k[t^2,t^3]) \ncong K_0(k[t^2,t^3,s])$?

Sep 6, 2023 at 4:59 comment added Steven Landsburg And yes, what you are saying is right.
Sep 6, 2023 at 4:51 comment added Steven Landsburg Sorry, I meant to mod out the units coming from $k[t]$. That leaves you with units of the form $1+\alpha\epsilon$, which form a group isomorphic to the additive group of $k$. I've edited to fix this.

Sep 6, 2023 at 4:43 comment added user443060 If $k$ is a field then $Pic(k[t^2,t^3])$ should be $k$, right? Am I making some mistakes here? So now by the same conductor ideal formula, we are getting $k[s]$ for $Pic(k[t^2,t^3,s])$ and we have an isomorphism class of a projective module that is exclusive to $K_0(k[t^2,t^3,s])$. Right?
