Abstract

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $k {[ε]}_{n} : = k [ε] ∕ (ε^{n})$ . We construct an additive dilogarithm ${Li}_{2, n} : B_{2} (k {[ε]}_{n}) \to k^{\oplus (n - 1)}$ , where $B_{2}$ is the Bloch group which is crucial in studying weight two motivic cohomology. We use this construction to show that the Bloch complex of $k {[ε]}_{n}$ has cohomology groups expressed in terms of the K-groups $K_{(\cdot)} (k {[ε]}_{n})$ as expected. Finally we compare this construction to the construction of the additive dilogarithm by Bloch and Esnault defined on the complex $T_{n} ℚ (2) (k)$ .
