$K_2$ of families of elliptic curves over non-Abelian cubic and quartic fields

Abstract

We give two constructions of families of elliptic curves over cubic or quartic fields with three, respectively four, `integral' elements in the kernel of the tame symbol on the curves. The fields are in general non-Abelian, and the elements linearly independent. For their integrality, we prove a new criterion that does not ignore any torsion. We also verify Beilinson's conjecture numerically for just over 90 of the curves.
