Bass, H. (ed.) et al., Algebraic \(K\)-theory and its applications. Proceedings of the workshop and symposium, ICTP, Trieste, Italy, September 1–19, 1997. Singapore: World Scientific (ISBN 981-02-3491-0/hbk). 255-283 (1999).
From the text: The author surveys various conjectures and results relating algebraic \(K\)-groups and values of zeta-functions, putting the emphasis on concrete examples in the one-dimensional case. First a short section on varieties over finite fields is given. Then he treats the case of rings of integers in number fields. The following topics are considered: (1) Computations of \(K_i(\mathbb Z)\) using homology of the space of lattices and their conjectural relation to Bernoulli numbers. (2) The Borel regulator and its \(p\)-adic variant. (3) Relation to the Main Conjecture in Iwasawa theory. (4) Polylogarithms and Zagier’s conjecture.
