Let Gk be a split reductive group over a subfield k of C corresponding to a Lie group G. Let T be a maximal torus of G. We show the isomorphism W (Gk) ∼= W (Gk/Tk) of Balmer–Witt groups. When k is algebraically closed, we prove that W (Gk) is isomorphic to the topological K-theory KO2∗−1(G/T ) of the flag manifold G/T . Then we compute it explicitly by using the fact that W (Gk) is a Hopf algebra. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 19G12, 55N15; Secondary 55N20.
