Beilinson regulator

In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry, the Beilinson regulator is the Chern class map from algebraic K-theory to Deligne cohomology: Here, X is a complex smooth projective variety, for example.

It is named after Alexander Beilinson.

The Beilinson regulator features in Beilinson's conjecture on special values of L-functions.

The Dirichlet regulator map (used in the proof of Dirichlet's unit theorem) for the ring of integers

of a number field F is a particular case of the Beilinson regulator.
