Densities of 4-ranks of K₂(𝒪)
We study some functional equations between Mahler measures of genus-one curves in terms of isogenies between the curves. These equations have the potential to establish relationships between Mahler measure and especial values of -functions. These notes are based on a talk that the author gave at the “Cuartas Jornadas de Teoría de Números”, Bilbao, 2011.
We construct a variant of Karoubi’s relative Chern character for smooth varieties over and prove a comparison result with Beilinson’s regulator with values in Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of Burgos’ Theorem that for number fields Borel’s regulator is twice Beilinson’s regulator.
Let K*(A;Z/ln) denote the mod-ln algebraic K-theory of a Z[1/l]-algebra A. Snaith ([14], [15], [16]) has studied Bott-periodic algebraic theory Ki(A;Z/ln)[1/βn], a localized version of K*(A;Z/ln) obtained by inverting a Bott element βn. For l an odd prime, Snaith has given a description of K*(A;Z/ln)[1/βn] using Adams maps between Moore spectra. These constructions are interesting, in particular for their connections with Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture [16].In this paper we obtain a description...
