Bloch-Beilinson conjecture for elliptic curves

introduction

• In 1986, Spencer Bloch gave an abstract definition of a (regulator) map from higher Chow groups to Deligne-Beilinson cohomology
• $E$: elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$
• the value at $s=2$ of the $L$-function for $E$ in terms of a regulator map

$$ K_2(E_{\mathbb{C}}) \to \mathbb{C} $$

• When E has complex multiplication a proof of the conjecture has been given by D. Rohrlich
