In the text of knowledge management and organizational learning discipline, what are the core differences between knowledge and learning? What theories highlight the differences?
Knowledge is the combination of data and information, to which is added expert opinion, skills, and experience, resulting in a valuable asset that aids decision making. In organizational terms, knowledge is generally thought of as know-how, applied information, information with judgment, or the capacity for effective action. Knowledge may be tacit, explicit, individual, and/or collective. It is intrinsically linked to people. Knowledge management is the explicit and systematic management of processes enabling vital individual and collective knowledge resources to be identified, created, stored, shared, and used for benefit. Its practical expression is the fusion of information management and organizational learning.
Learning is the way we absorb and generate knowledge and improve ourselves. In the context of knowledge management and learning, a learning organization is an organization that is skilled at identifying, creating, storing, sharing, and using knowledge, and then modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge.

El aprendizaje genera nuevos conocimientos, por medio de una construcción producida en el contexto de símbolos, valores, esquemas y significados. El conocimiento está sustentado en la adquisición constante de aprendizajes previos
Knowledge involves understanding, comprehension and mastery of content, it's about acquiring, growing, sharing and applying information to achieve an impact whilst learning is the process of studying, teaching and education.
Learning is system according to which you learn things from school or college or an institution or a book. These things are internalized by the learner in a mechanical manner.
Knowledge is the power of absorbing from what they teach in these institutions or books. You can also acquire knowledge from practical experiences in life.
Learning is getting information. If that information is stored in long term memory it becomes knowledge. However if it is stored in short term memory , the information could be lost. Based on this, teachers should focus on intrinsic motivation or the love of learning if they want the students store the information in long term memory. The extrinsic motivation or studying for grade only will store the information in short term memory and usually students lose the information shortly after the exams.
Research can yield knowledge but the knowledge is gained oftentimes many years, decades but only after the research has been completed and replicated in different settings. Much learning can take place during the research process.
I think the existing answers are quite comprehensive, but I want to reiterate that knowledge is information combined with experience . learning is the process of obtaining knowledge from it is different resources and it includes the way of how utilize such knowledge in a certain situation.
The difference between Learning and Knowledge is that the first is the process that leads to the second. The purpose of learning/ teaching, whether in classes or sole, is to achieve knowledge.
The success of learning is knowledge, failure of learning is ignorance (i.e. no knowledge).
Both concepts are definetely broad and dynamic. I would say that learning is the process of acquiring or constructing knowledge. But of course it is much more complicated than than
In addition to all the answers clarifiying the difference between knowledge and learning, you may fing useful to read about Learning Orientation in Goal Orientation Theory.

Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual information, and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information – DavenPort in Prusak
Learning is a process where knowledge is produced through the process of data transformation – David Kolb
Knowledge in the context of Knowledge management highlights about Tacit Knowledge (Personalization)and Explicit knowledge(Codification).
However learning highlights about Learn, Unlearn and Relearn which is a continuous process of generation of knowledge/New Knowledge (Spiral loop according to Nonaka theory), which enhances Individual learning, Group learning and Organisational learning
