Abstract: We determine the structure of the reduction modulo $p$ of the absolute de Rham-Witt complex of a smooth scheme over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$ with log-poles along the special fiber and show that the sub-sheaf fixed by the Frobenius map is isomorphic to the sheaf of $p$-adic vanishing cycles. We use this result together with the main results of op. cit. to evaluate the algebraic $K$-theory with finite coefficients of the quotient field of the henselian local ring at a generic point of the special fiber. The result affirms the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for this field.
