Abstract
Let be a smooth projective variety over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. We explore infinitesimal deformations of the Chow group via its formal completion , a functor defined on the category of local augmented Artinian -algebras. Under a natural vanishing condition on Hodge cohomology groups, for certain augmented graded Artinian -algebras with the maximal ideal , we prove that This extends earlier results of Bloch and others from the case where is algebraic over to arbitrary fields of characteristic zero,and gives a partial affirmative answer to a general question linking the pro-representability of Chow groups to a specific set of Hodge-theoretic vanishing conditions.
