Abstract

Let XX be a non-singular projective complex surface. We can show that Bloch's conjecture (i.e., that if pg=0p_g=0 then the Albanese kernel vanishes) is equivalent to the following statement: If pg(X)=0p_g(X)=0 then for any given Zariski open UXU\subset X and ωH2(U,C)\omega\in H^2(U,{\bf C}) there is a smaller Zariski open VUV\subset U such that ωV=ω+ζ\omega\mid_V =\omega'+\zeta where ωF2H2(V,C)\omega'\in F^2H^2(V,{\bf C}) and ζ\zeta is integral.
