The syntomic regulator for K4 of curves

Amnon Besser and Rob de Jeu

Vol. 260 (2012), No. 2, 305–380
Abstract

Let C be a curve defined over a complete discrete valuation subfield of p. Assuming that C has good reduction over the residue field, we compute the syntomic regulator on a certain part of K4(3)(C). The result can be expressed in terms of p-adic polylogarithms and Coleman integration. We also compute the syntomic regulator on a certain part of K4(3)(F) for the function field F of C. The result can be expressed in terms of p-adic polylogarithms and Coleman integration, or by using a trilinear map (“triple index”) on certain functions.
