TLDR
The problem of computing the higher K-theory of a number field F, and of its rings of integers OF, has a rich history as mentioned in this paper, and the resolutions of many of these conjectures by Suslin, Voevodsky, Rost and others have finally made it possible to describe the groups K∗(OF ).
Abstract
The problem of computing the higher K-theory of a number field F , and of its rings of integers OF , has a rich history. Since 1972, we have known that the groups Kn(OF ) are finitely generated [48], and known their ranks [7], but have only had conjectural knowledge about their torsion subgroups [33, 34, 5] until 1997 (starting with [76]). The resolutions of many of these conjectures by Suslin, Voevodsky, Rost and others have finally made it possible to describe the groups K∗(OF ). One of the goals of this survey is to give such a description; here is the odd half of the answer (the integers wi(F ) are even, and are defined in section 3):
