Bloch's formula

In algebraic K-theory, a branch of mathematics, Bloch's formula, introduced by Spencer Bloch for $K_{2}$ , states that the Chow group of a smooth variety X over a field is isomorphic to the cohomology of X with coefficients in the K-theory of the structure sheaf $𝒪_{X}$ ; that is,

{CH}^{q} (X) = H^{q} (X, K_{q} (𝒪_{X}))

where the right-hand side is the sheaf cohomology; $K_{q} (𝒪_{X})$ is the sheaf associated to the presheaf $U \mapsto K_{q} (U)$ , U Zariski open subsets of X. The general case is due to Quillen. For q = 1, one recovers $Pic (X) = H^{1} (X, 𝒪_{X}^{*})$ . (see also Picard group.)

The formula for the mixed characteristic is still open.
