Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface with $p_g=0$, let $\iota $ be a regular involution acting on $S$, and let $W$ be the resolution of singularities of the quotient surface $S/\iota $. In the paper we prove that Bloch's conjecture holds…

We prove Bloch's conjecture for correspondences on powers of complex abelian varieties, that are "generically defined". As an application we establish vanishing results for (skew-)symmetric cycles on powers of abelian varieties and we…

Let X be a complex surface with no nontrivial 2-forms. Then we show that Bloch's conjecture is true (i.e. the Albanese map in this case is injective) if and only if any homologically trivial idempotent in the ring of correspondences…

In this short note we prove that an involution on certain examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0=q, K^2=3$, acts as identity on the Chow group of zero cycles of the relevant surface. In particular we consider examples of such…

In this paper, we investigate Bloch's conjecture for autoequivalence on K3 surfaces. We introduce the notion of reflective autoequivalence of twisted K3 surfaces and prove Bloch's conjecture for such autoequivalences, thereby confirming the…

Let $X$ be a non-singular projective complex surface. We can show that Bloch's conjecture (i.e., that if $p_g=0$ then the Albanese kernel vanishes) is equivalent to the following statement: If $p_g(X)=0$ then for any given Zariski open…

In this short note we prove that the Bloch's conjecture holds for a surface of general type of numerical Godeaux type or some class of numerical Campedelli type, with geometric genus zero equipped with an involution, when the quotient of…

We prove the conjecture stated by Spencer Bloch in 1975 and saying that the Albanese kernel of a smooth projective surface is 0, provided its second cohomology group is algebraic.

A family of K3 surfaces $\mathscr{X}\rightarrow B$ has the \emph{Franchetta property} if the Chow group of 0-cycles on the generic fiber is cyclic. The generalized Franchetta conjecture proposed by O'Grady asserts that the universal family…

In this paper, we prove that Bloch's conjecture holds for all smooth, complex, projective surfaces with $p_g=q=0$ and $K^2=9$.

In this short note we prove that an involution on certain examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$, acts as identity on the Chow group of zero cycles of the relevant surface. In particular we consider examples of such surfaces when…

Using recent developments in the theory of mixed motives, we prove that the log Bloch conjecture holds for an open smooth complex surface if the Bloch conjecture holds for its compactification. This verifies the log Bloch conjecture for all…

We give many examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ for which Bloch's conjecture holds, for all values of $K^2$ except 9. Our surfaces are equipped with an involution.

The aim of this article is to prove Bloch's conjecture, asserting that the group of rational equivalence classes of zero cycles of degree 0 is trivial for surfaces with geometric genus zero, for regular generalized Burniat type surfaces.…

The aim of this article is to prove Bloch's conjecture (asserting that the group of rational equivalence classes of zero cycles of degree zero is trivial) for Inoue surfaces with p_g=0 and K^2 = 7. These surfaces can also be described as…

The Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces asserts the finiteness of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field admitting good reduction away from a fixed finite set of finite places. Andr\'{e} proved this conjecture for…

O'Grady's generalized Franchetta conjecture (GFC) is concerned with codimension 2 algebraic cycles on universal polarized K3 surfaces. In \cite{BL17}, this conjecture has been studied in the Betti cohomology groups. Following a suggestion…

For a projective K3 surface X we introduce the dense triangulated subcategory S^* of the bounded derived category D^b(Coh(X)) of coherent sheaves on X that is generated by spherical objects. For a K3 surface X over \bar Q it is shown that…

The generalized Franchetta conjecture for hyper-K\"ahler varieties predicts that an algebraic cycle on the universal family of certain polarized hyper-K\"ahler varieties is fiberwise rationally equivalent to zero if and only if it vanishes…

For a smooth projective surface X the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive h(X), as conjectured by S.I Kimura, has several geometric consequences. For a complex surface of general type with p_g = 0 it is equivalent to Bloch's…
