Merkurjev–Suslin conjecture on the reduced norm in K2K_{2}

Let FF be a local or global field, and let AA be a finite-dimensional central simple FF-algebra. Let AvA_v denote the algebra obtained at a place vv of FF, and let the direct sum range over the real places for which AvA_v is non-split.

Merkurjev–Suslin conjecture. There is an exact sequence

0K2(A)nrK2(F)vZ/2Z0.0\longrightarrow K_{2}(A)\overset{\operatorname{nr}}{\longrightarrow}K_{2}(F)\longrightarrow\bigoplus_{v}\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\longrightarrow0.

If FF is a pp-adic or complex local field, the indexing set is empty. The source identifies this as an old conjecture of Merkurjev and Suslin and states that it remains open; the asserted sequence is intended to describe the obstruction to surjectivity of the reduced norm at the relevant real places.
