The motivic cohomology and K-theory comparison conjecture

For every variety XX over Q{\mathbb{Q}}, suppose there is a universal cohomology theory Xh(X)X\mapsto h^*(X) with values in an abelian category MM{\mathcal M}{\mathcal M} of mixed motives, together with a universal absolute cohomology theory whose motivic cohomology groups are denoted HMn(X,j)H_{\mathcal M}^n(X,j). The associated Leray spectral sequence should give short exact sequences

0ExtMM1(Q(0),hn1(X)(j))HMn(X,j)HomMM(Q(0),hn(X)(j))0.0\to \operatorname{Ext}^1_{{\mathcal M}{\mathcal M}}({\mathbb{Q}}(0),h^{n-1}(X)(j))\to H_{\mathcal M}^n(X,j)\to \operatorname{Hom}_{{\mathcal M}{\mathcal M}}({\mathbb{Q}}(0),h^n(X)(j))\to 0.

For smooth XX, write Km(X)QK_m(X)_{\mathbb{Q}} for rational K-theory and GrγjKm(X)Q\operatorname{Gr}^j_\gamma K_m(X)_{\mathbb{Q}} for its jj-th gamma-graded piece. Beilinson et. al.'s motivic comparison conjecture. For smooth varieties XX, there should be natural isomorphisms

HMi(X,j)GrγjK2ji(X)Q.H_{\mathcal M}^i(X,j)\cong \operatorname{Gr}^j_\gamma K_{2j-i}(X)_{\mathbb{Q}}.

This is part of the motivic philosophy relating absolute motivic cohomology to K-theory and the cohomology of mixed motives. The source presents it as a general expectation and gives no resolution status.
