Let l be a prime and let v ≥ 1 be an integer (when l = 2 we assume v ≥ 2). Any ring, A, with unit, possesses mod lv algebraic K-groups [B] denoted by Ki(A; Z/v) (i ≥ 0). For i ≥ 2, Ki(A; Z/lv) = [Pi(lv), BGLA +], the group of based homotopy classes of maps from the Moore space , to BGLA+, the classifying space of algebraic K-theory [G–Q ; W].
