Ramakrishnan's injectivity conjecture for the Bloch regulator

From papers

Let FF be a subfield of C\mathbb{C} with embedding σ:FC\sigma:F\hookrightarrow\mathbb{C}. Let B(F)\mathcal B(F) and B(C)\mathcal B(\mathbb{C}) denote the corresponding Bloch groups, and let Q(2)=(2π1)2QC\mathbb{Q}(2)=(2\pi\sqrt{-1})^2\mathbb{Q}\subset\mathbb{C}. Ramakrishnan's conjecture. For every such embedded subfield, the map

B(F)QσB(C)QC/Q(2)\mathcal B(F)\otimes\mathbb{Q}\stackrel{\sigma}{\longrightarrow}\mathcal B(\mathbb{C})\otimes\mathbb{Q}\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Q}(2)

is injective. This generalizes Milnor's conjecture and is related to injectivity of the Bloch regulator; the source gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
