In this, the eighth article in my Derived Langlands series, I describe the construction of a 2-variable L-function for two representations of general linear groups of a $p$-adic local field. Due to extenuating health circumstances, many of the proofs and ideas herein are suggestive rather than the finished definitive versions.
We present an infinite series formula based on the Karoubi-Hamida integral, for the universal Borel class evaluated on H_{2n+1}(GL(\mathbb{C})). For a cyclotomic field F we define a canonical set of elements in K_3(F) and present a novel approach (based on a free differential calculus) to constructing them. Indeed, we are able to explicitly construct their images in H_{3}(GL(\mathbb{C})) under the Hurewicz map. Applying our formula to these images yields a value V_1(F), which coincides with the Borel regulator R_1(F) when our set is a basis of K_3(F) modulo torsion. For F= \mathbb{Q}(e^{2πi/3}) a computation of V_1(F) has been made based on our techniques.
This work surveys classical and recent advances around the existence of exotic differentiable structures on spheres and its connection to stable homotopy theory.
