First and second $K$-groups of an elliptic curve over a global field of positive characteristic

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the maximal divisible subgroup of groups $K_1$ and $K_2$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over a function field is uniquely divisible. Further those $K$-groups modulo this uniquely divisible subgroup are explicitly computed. We also calculate the motivic cohomology groups of the minimal regular model of $E$, which is an elliptic surface over a finite field.
