I will present a map - The toric regulator, from motivic cohomology of algebraic varieties over p-adic fileds with "totally degenerate reduction", e.g., -adically uniformized varieties, to "toric intermediate Jacobians" which are quotients of algebraic toruses by a discrete subgroup. The toric regulator recovers part of the -adic etale regulator map for every prime , and its logarithm recovers part of the log-syntomic regulator. I expect the toric regulator to be the home of "refined" Beilinson conjectures and I will present some evidence for this claim. This is joint work with Wayne Raskind from Wayne State university.
