Abstract

We take a fresh look at the relationship between $K$-regularity and regularity of schemes, proving two results in this direction. First, we show that $K_2$-regular affine algebras over fields of characteristic zero are normal. Second, we improve on Vorst’s $K$-regularity bound in the case of local complete intersections; this is related to recent work on higher du Bois singularities.
