For a smooth proper variety over a $p$-adic field, the Brauer group and abelian fundamental group are related to the higher Chow groups by the Brauer-Manin pairing and the class field theory. We generalize this relation to smooth (possibly…

Let $X$ be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field $k$. We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on $X$ and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following…

We relate the Brauer group of a smooth variety over a p-adic field to the geometry of the special fibre of a regular model, using the purity theorem in \'etale cohomology. As an illustration, we describe how the Brauer group of a smooth del…

This is a survey of recent examples of varieties that are not stably rational. We review the specialization method based on properties of the Chow group of zero-cycles used in these examples and explain the point of view of unramified…

It is conjectured that the Brauer--Manin obstruction is expected to control the existence of 0-cycles of degree 1 on smooth proper varieties over number fields. In this paper, we prove that the existence of Brauer--Manin obstruction to…

In this article, we prove a $p$-adic analogue of the local invariant cycle theorem for $H^2$ in mixed characteristics. As a result, for a smooth projective variety $X$ over a $p$-adic local field $K$ with a proper flat regular model…

Let $\mathcal X$ be a regular scheme, flat and proper over the ring of integers of a $p$-adic field, with generic fiber $X$ and special fiber $\mathcal X_s$. We study the left kernel $Br(\mathcal X)$ of the Brauer-Manin pairing $Br(X)\times…

We determine the Chow group of zero-cycles on a rational surface X defined over a finite extension K of the field of p-adic numbers (p a prime) when X is split by an unramified extension of K.

Consider weak approximation for 0-cycles on a smooth proper variety defined over a number field, it is conjectured to be controlled by its Brauer group. Let $X$ be a Ch\^atelet surface or a smooth compactification of a homogeneous space of…

We present a conjectural formula describing the cokernel of the Albanese map of zero-cycles of smooth projective varieties $X$ over $p$-adic fields in terms of the N\'eron-Severi group and provide a proof under additional assumptions on an…

We report on progress in the qualitative study of rational points on rationally connected varieties over number fields, also examining integral points, zero-cycles, and non-rationally connected varieties. One of the main objectives is to…

In this paper we study the group $A_0(X)$ of zero dimensional cycles of degree 0 modulo rational equivalence on a projective homogeneous algebraic variety $X$. To do this we translate rational equivalence of 0-cycles on a projective variety…

A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'{e}l\`{e}ne predicts that for a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ the kernel of the Albanese map $\text{CH}_0(X)^{\text{deg}=0}\to Alb_X(k)$ is the direct sum of a…

Classifying elements of the Brauer group of a variety X over a p-adic field according to the p-adic accuracy needed to evaluate them gives a filtration on Br X. We relate this filtration to that defined by Kato's Swan conductor. The refined…

We study the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of zero-cycles of degree $d$ on certain classes of varieties over number fields. We generalise existing results in the literature and prove some results about fibrations over the…

Zero-cycles are conjectured to satisfy weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction for proper smooth varieties defined over number fields. Roughly speaking, we prove that the conjecture is compatible for products of rationally…

A local-global sequence for Chow groups of zero-cycles involving Brauer groups has been conjectured to be exact for all proper smooth algebraic varieties. We apply existing methods to construct several new families of varieties verifying…

We study the evaluation maps given by elements of the Brauer group of varieties over local fields. We show constancy of the aforementioned maps in several interesting cases.
