  Abstract

Let A be a regular noetherian Fp-algebra. The relative K-groups Kq(A[x]/(xm),(x)) and the Nil-groups Nilq(A[x]/(xm)) were evaluated by the author and Ib Madsen in terms of the big de Rham–Witt groups Wr{Omega}Aq of the ring A. In this paper, we evaluate the maps of relative K-groups and Nil-groups induced by the canonical projection f: A[x]/(xm) -> A[x]/(xn). The result depends strongly on the prime p. It generalizes earlier work by Stienstra on the groups in degrees 2 and 3.
