The Bloch-Kato conjecture on special values of L-functions. A survey of known results
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 15 (2003) no. 1, pp. 179-198

This paper contains an overview of the known cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. It does not attempt to overview the known cases of the Beilinson conjecture and also excludes the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer point. The paper starts with a brief review of the formulation of the general conjecture. The final part gives a brief sketch of the proofs in the known cases.

Cet article présente un survol des cas connus de la conjecture de Bloch-Kato. Nous ne cherchons pas à passer en revue tous les cas connus de la conjecture de Beilinson, et nous laissons de côté la conjecture de Birch et Swinnerton-Dyer. L'article commence par une description de la conjecture générale. À la fin, nous indiquons brièvement les démonstrations des cas connus.
