Beilinson conjectures

introduction

• generalizations of

1. the Lichtenbaum conjectures for K-groups of number rings
2. the Hodge conjecture
3. the Tate conjecture about algebraic cycles
4. the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture about elliptic curves
5. Bloch's conjecture about K2 of elliptic curves

• the Beĭlinson conjectures describe the leading coefficients of L-series of varieties over number fields up to rational factors in terms of generalized regulators
  • the very general setting being for L-functions $L(s)$ associated to Chow motives over number fields
• Bloch-Beilinson conjecture predicts that ranks of Chow groups of homologically trivial cycles should be related to orders of vanishing of L-functions.

motivation

• L-함수의 값 구하기 입문
• Leibniz formula for $\pi$

\[1 \,-\, \frac{1}{3} \,+\, \frac{1}{5} \,-\, \frac{1}{7} \,+\, \frac{1}{9} \,-\, \cdots \;=\; \frac{\pi}{4}\]

• the left-hand side is also $L(1)$ where $L(s)$ is the Dirichlet L-function for the Gaussian field.
• This formula is a special case of the analytic class number formula, and in those terms reads that the Gaussian field has class number 1, and also contains four roots of unity, so accounting for the factor 1/4.
• Q : how to replace $\pi$ in the Leibniz formula by some other "transcendental" number
• Beilinson : abstract from the regulator of a number field to some "higher regulator" (the Beilinson regulator), a determinant constructed on a real vector space that comes from algebraic K-theory.
