Zagier's K-theoretic polylogarithm conjecture
Let be a number field and let . Write for the algebraic K-group, let be the modified polylogarithm, and let be the Borel regulator, where is chosen according to the sign of and is the other signature number. Let denote the free abelian group on , and let be a finitely generated subquotient of this group.
Zagier's K-theoretic conjecture. There is a homomorphism with finite kernel and cokernel such that the composition with equals the map induced by
Moreover, the image of is a lattice whose covolume is
Beilinson constructed a map of the indicated type for a subquotient, and the conjecture is closely related to the Lichtenbaum conjecture. The latter predicts that the ratio of the orders of the kernel and cokernel is determined by torsion in , by , and by powers of ; the full assertion remains open.
