Description
All nontrivial elements in higher $K$-groups of toric varieties
over a class of regular rings are annihilated by iterations of the natural
Frobenius type endomorphisms. This is a higher analog of the triviality of
vector bundles on affine toric varieties. In the talk I will assume no
K-theoretical background: the main K-theoretical concepts will be
presented in an informal and completely accessible way, without giving a
single formal definition.
