Questions on the Chow ring of complete intersections

Algebraic Geometry 2025-12-09 v1

Abstract

We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring A(X)A^\ast(X) of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if XX is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product A2(X)Ai(X)A^2(X)\cdot A^i(X) is one-dimensional, for any i>0i>0. We also show that quintic threefolds have a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth (MCK) decomposition. We wonder whether all Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces might have an MCK decomposition, and prove this is the case conditional to a conjecture of Voisin.
