We relate the negative K -theory of a normal surface to a resolution of singularities. The only nonzero K -groups are K − 2 , which counts loops in the exceptional fiber, and K − 1 , which is related to the divisor class groups of the complete local rings at the singularities. We also verify two conjectures of Srinivas about K 0 -regularity and K − 1 of a surface. This paper gives a geometric interpretation for the negative K -theory of a normal surface X . If R is the semilocal ring of X at its finitely many singularities, then the negative K -theory of X and R are the same by [W3, Theorem 1.2]. Thus we also describe the negative K -theory of any excellent 2-dimensional normal semilocal ring R . As we explain on the next page, our results also give an almost complete classification of projective R [ T ] -modules. Our interpretation relates the groups K − j (X) to a resolution of singularities ˜ X → X of the surface. For starters (see Theorem 4.4), we show that K − j (X) = 0 for all j ≥ 3, even if X is singular. (This confirms a guess in [W1, p. 180].) If X is normal and j = 2, we prove that K − 2 (X) ∼= Z λ , where λ denotes the number of “loops” in the exceptional fiber E ; the number of “loops” in a curve is made precise in Definition 2.1.
