Let l be an odd prime and let A be a commutative ring containing 1/l. Let K*(A;Z/lv) denote the mod lv algebraic K-theory of A [3]. As explained in [4] there exists a “Bott element” βvK21v–1(l–1)(Z[1/l];Z/lv) and, using the K-theory product we may, following [16, Part IV], form

which is defined as the direct limit of iterated multiplication by βv. There is a canonical localisation map
