Epsilon factors - a la Beilinson - What is it?

I understand, to some extent, Tate's thesis. Could somebody explain perhaps what are the epsilon factors in Beilinson's works, such as "$\epsilon$-factors for Gauss-Manin determinants", or "...

Inverse Galois Problem...and parallelizable vector fields?

Usual approaches to the inverse Galois problem start with realizations of a group $G$ over a larger field, and then try to specialize to ${\Bbb Q}$. One could also start by building suitable objects ...

How to describe a concrete generator of $\widetilde{K_0(\mathbb{Z}[C_{23}])} \cong \widetilde{K_0(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_{23}])}$

Milnor (page 29, see below) gives an explicit proof that the zeroth $K$-theory of the group ring $\mathbb{Z}[C_p]$, where $C_p$ is the cyclic group of order $p$ with $p$ a prime agrees with $K_0$ of $\...

Beilinson regulator: a road map

I'm approaching to the Beilinson Conjecture and after studying some properties of the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology, I want to understand the regulator maps. But I don't know anything about K-theory ...

Can K$_3$ of finite fields be related to Teichmüller cocycles?

This is sort of a blind shot, but... For a ring $R$, its third algebraic K-group is given by $\operatorname K_3(R)=H_3(\operatorname{St}(R))$. To simplify matters, let $R$ be a finite field $\mathbb ...

On the relative class number of a cyclotomic extension

Let $\Bbb Z[\zeta_p]$ denote the cyclotomic integers where $p$ is a prime and let $h_1 = h_1(p)$ denote its relative class number. Question: Is it known whether there are infinitely many primes $p$ ...

Are Milnor K-groups algebraic groups?

Let $k$ be a field, $K$ a finite extension of $k$, and $K_{n}^{M}(K)$ the $n$-th Milnor K-group of $K$, that is, $$ K_{n}^{M}(K)=K^{\times}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\cdots\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} K^{\times}/I, $...
