An adelic resolution for homology sheaves

We propose a generalization of the ordinary idele group by constructing certain adelic complexes for sheaves of $K$-groups on schemes. Such complexes are defined for any abelian sheaf on a scheme. We focus on the case when the sheaf is associated with the presheaf of a homology theory with certain natural axioms satisfied, in particular, by $K$-theory. In this case it is proved that the adelic complex provides a flabby resolution for this sheaf on smooth varieties over an infinite perfect field and that the natural morphism to the Gersten complex is a quasi-isomorphism. The main advantage of the new adelic resolution is that it is contravariant and multiplicative. In particular, this enables us to reprove that the intersection in Chow groups coincides (up to a sign) with the natural product in the corresponding $K$-cohomology groups. Also, we show that the Weil pairing can be expressed as a Massey triple product in $K$-cohomology groups with certain indices.
