For a commutative ring A we study here the Grothendieck group, K0A, of finitely generated projective A-modules, and the Picard group, Pic (A), of projective modules of rank one (under (?A). Writing koA for the elements of rank zero in KOA, there is an epimorphism det: K0A Pic (A) defined by the rth exterior power of a projective module of rank r. Our original objective was to calculate KJ(Zw), where w is a finitely generated abelian group. We do this in ? 8. The bulk of the paper is a rather general discussion of the techniques, some already familiar in other contexts, which we use to make this calculation. Our procedure is to decompose w as w0 x T, with w0 a finite group and T free abelian, and then to write Zw= A[T] where A = Zw0. Then A is a noetherian ring of (Krull) dimension one. For such an A we show (Theorem 7.8) that det: ko(A[T]) Pic (A[T]) is an isomorphism. In ?9 we prove also a non-stable analogue of this for T of rank <2. In ?8 we show (Theorem 8.1) that
