In searching for a counterexample in homological stability, I came across the following question: Is there a known example of a finitely presented group $G$, so that the group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ ...

Given a ring R and a group $G$, I can consider the group ring $R[G]$ and then take the algebraic $K$-theory $K(R[G])$. This the $K$-theory of the category $\operatorname{Rep}_R(G)$. As a variant, one ...

Update: As mentioned below, the answer to the original question is a strong No. However, the case of $\pi_4$ remains, and actually I think that this one would follow from Suslin's conjecture on ...

By "fundamental copies" of $SL_2(R)$ in $SL_n(R)$, I mean those embedded along the diagonal (for instance, if $n=3$, those are the upper left and lower right corner copies of $SL_2(R)$ embedded in $...

Does there exist a finitely generated group $G$ with outer automorphism group $\mathrm{Out}(G)$ finite, whose center contains infinitely many elements of order $p$ for some prime $p$? A motivation is ...
