Abstract

Beilinson (Contemp Math 55:1–34, 1986) constructs special elements in the second K-group of an elliptic modular curve, and shows that the image under the regulator map is related to the special values of the L-functions of elliptic modular forms. In this paper, we give an analogue of this result in the context of Drinfeld modular varieties.
