Beilinson's conjecture for higher K-groups of smooth projective varieties

About 25 years old · traced to

Let XQX_{{\mathbb Q}} be a smooth projective variety over Q{{\mathbb Q}}, and let XR:=XQ×QRX_{{\mathbb R}}:=X_{{\mathbb Q}}\times_{{\mathbb Q}}{{\mathbb R}}. Let Ki(XQ)Z(j)⊂Ki(XQ)(j)K_i(X_{{\mathbb Q}})^{(j)}_{{\mathbb Z}}\subset K_i(X_{{\mathbb Q}})^{(j)} be the integral part, and let j>0j>0 be an integer. Write F∞F_\infty for the real Frobenius action and L(M,s)L(M,s) for the LL-function of a motive MM; write L∗(M,m)L^*(M,m) for the leading Taylor coefficient at s=ms=m, and let ∼Q×\sim_{{{\mathbb Q}}^\times} denote equality up to multiplication by an element of Q×{{\mathbb Q}}^\times. Beilinson's conjecture. The regulator map

reg⁡R:Kj(XQ)Z(j)⊗R⟶HBj−1(XR,R(j−1))F∞=1\operatorname{reg}_{{\mathbb R}}:K_j(X_{{\mathbb Q}})^{(j)}_{{\mathbb Z}}\otimes{{\mathbb R}}\longrightarrow H^{j-1}_B(X_{{\mathbb R}},{{\mathbb R}}(j-1))^{F_\infty=1}

is bijective, and

det⁡[Kj(XQ)Z(j)]⊗det⁡[HBj−1(XR,Q(j−1))F∞=1]−1∼Q×L∗(hj−1(XQ),0).\det[K_j(X_{{\mathbb Q}})^{(j)}_{{\mathbb Z}}]\otimes\det[H^{j-1}_B(X_{{\mathbb R}},{{\mathbb Q}}(j-1))^{F_\infty=1}]^{-1}\sim_{{{\mathbb Q}}^\times}L^*(h^{j-1}(X_{{\mathbb Q}}),0).

The order-of-vanishing assertion in the source is conditional on the functional equation. This is a higher-dimensional generalization of the classical Dirichlet regulator conjecture, and remains open in general.
