Abstract

We construct an example of a torus T over a field K for which the Galois symbol K(K; T,T)/n K(K; T,T) → H2(K, T[n]⊗ T[n]) is not injective for some n. Here K(K; T,T) is the Milnor K-group attached to T introduced by Somekawa. We show also that the motive M(T× T) gives a counterexample to another generalization of the Milnor-Bloch-Kato conjecture (proposed by Beilinson).
