The kernel of the Gysin homomorphism for smooth projective curves
Abstract
Let be a smooth projective connected surface over an algebraically closed field and the linear system of a very ample divisor on . Let be the dimension of and the closed embedding of into , induced by . For any closed point , let be the corresponding hyperplane section on , and let be the closed embedding of the curve into . Let be the discriminant locus of and let . For , the kernel of the Gysin homomorphism of the Chow groups of -cycles of degree zero, from to is the countable union of shifts of a certain abelian subvariety inside , the Jacobian of the curve (\cite{PS24} for , \cite{SW25} for ). We prove that for every closed point either coincides with the abelian variety inside corresponding to the vanishing cohomology , where is the minimal field of definition of , and then the Gysin kernel is a countable union of shifts of , or , in which case the Gysin kernel is countable. Using the language of algebraic stacks as a generalisation of algebraic varieties this is done by constructing an increasing filtration of Zariski countable open substacks of , where is a countable set and by applying a convergence argument.
