In this paper we use topological tools to investigate the structure of the algebraic K-groups $$K_4(R)$$K4(R) for $$R=Z[i]$$R=Z[i] and $$R=Z[\rho ]$$R=Z[ρ] where $$i := \sqrt{-1}$$i:=-1 and $$\rho := (1+\sqrt{-3})/2$$ρ:=(1+-3)/2. We exploit the close connection between homology groups of $$\mathrm {GL}_n(R)$$GLn(R) for $$n\le 5$$n≤5 and those of related classifying spaces, then compute the former using Voronoi’s reduction theory of positive definite quadratic and Hermitian forms to produce a very large finite cell complex on which $$\mathrm {GL}_n(R)$$GLn(R) acts. Our main result is that $$K_{4} ({\mathbb {Z}}[i])$$K4(Z[i]) and $$K_{4} ({\mathbb {Z}}[\rho ])$$K4(Z[ρ]) have no p-torsion for $$p\ge 5$$p≥5.
