Homology of GLn over algebraically closed fields

In this paper we define higher pre-Bloch groups _n(F) of a fieldF. When the base field is algebraically closed, we study itsconnection to the homology of the general linear groups withcoefficients in /l , where l is a positive integer. As a resultof our investigation we give a necessary and sufficient conditionfor the natural map H_n(GL_n–1(F), /l ) H_n(GL_n(F), /l )to be bijective. We prove that this map is bijective for n4.We also demonstrate that a certain property of _n() is equivalentto the validity of the Friedlander–Milnor isomorphismconjecture for (n+1)th homology of GL_n().
