Zero cycles on singular varieties and their desingularisations

Algebraic Geometry 2015-04-07 v2 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We use pro cdh-descent of KK-theory to study the relationship between the zero cycles on a singular variety XX and those on its desingularisation XX'. We prove many cases of a conjecture of S. Bloch and V. Srinivas, and relate the Chow groups of XX to the Kerz--Saito Chow group with modulus of XX' relative to its exceptional fibre.
