The Bloch group is a mathematical construct in the field of algebraic K-theory and number theory. It is named after the mathematician Spencer Bloch. The main idea behind the Bloch group is to provide a way to study the properties of values of certain functions, particularly the behavior of rational numbers and algebraic numbers within the context of abelian varieties and algebraic cycles.
