Vorst's conjecture on K-regularity and regularity

From papers

Let RR be a commutative ring of dimension dd, essentially of finite type over a field kk. The property Kd+1K_{d+1}-regularity means that the natural map

Kd+1(R)Kd+1(R[x1,,xr])K_{d+1}(R)\to K_{d+1}(R[x_1,\ldots,x_r])

is an isomorphism for every r0r\geq 0.

Vorst's conjecture. If RR is Kd+1K_{d+1}-regular, then RR is regular.

Quillen proved that regular noetherian rings are KnK_n-regular for all integers nn, and Vorst's conjecture predicts a converse in the stated finite-type setting. It was proven in dimensions at most one; the general case is not resolved in the supplied source.
