Let A be a regular noetherian F p ‐algebra. The relative K ‐groups K q ( A [ x ]/( x m ),( x )) and the Nil‐groups Nil q ( A [ x ]/( x m )) were evaluated by the author and Ib Madsen in terms of the big de Rham–Witt groups W r Ω A q of the ring A . In this paper, we evaluate the maps of relative K ‐groups and Nil‐groups induced by the canonical projection f : A [ x ]/( x m ) → A [ x ]/( x n ). The result depends strongly on the prime p . It generalizes earlier work by Stienstra on the groups in degrees 2 and 3.
