In mathematics, more specifically in algebraic geometry, Parshin's conjecture (also referred to as the Beilinson–Parshin conjecture) states that for any smooth projective variety X defined over a finite field, the higher algebraic K-groups vanish up to torsion:[1]

It is named after Aleksei Nikolaevich Parshin and Alexander Beilinson.

Finite fields

The conjecture holds if by Quillen's computation of the K-groups of finite fields,[2] showing in particular that they are finite groups.

Curves

The conjecture holds if by the proof of Corollary 3.2.3 of Harder.[3] Additionally, by Quillen's finite generation result[4] (proving the Bass conjecture for the K-groups in this case) it follows that the K-groups are finite if .
