Abstract

Let F be a nonarchimedean local field and let G = GL(n) = GL(n, F). Let E/F be a finite Galois extension. We use the Hasse-Herbrand function ψ E/F to identify the K-theory groups of the reduced C*-algebra C* r GL(n, F) with the Galois-fixed points of the K-theory groups of the reduced C*-algebra C* r GL(n, E).

To the memory of Professor José de Sousa Ramos
