Homological Equivalences of Modules and Their Projective Invariants
Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Durham South Road, Durham DH1 3LE
This paper generalises Chinburg's construction [4, 5] of invariants in the class group of an integral group ring from two-fold extensions of (Galois) modules. The two main results are the expression of invariants of endomorphisms of a non-projective lattice over an order (which lie in the kernel group) in terms of reduced norms of local automorphisms, and the description of a coset of the Swan subgroup of the class group, which contains Chinburg's invariant
(N/K, 1) of a finite Galois extension N/K of number fields, in terms of invariants of homomorphisms.
