The dilogarithm function in geometry and number theory (Pt. 4)

Abstract:

In this fourth and final part, we discuss the Bloch group. Moreover, we introduce Dedekind zeta function and we show how to compute values of $\zeta_{F}(2)$, where $F$ is a certain number field. The computation of these values will involve volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
