If $X$ is a closed $2n$-dimensional aspherical manifold, i.e., the universal cover of $X$ is contractible, then the Chern-Hopf-Thurston conjecture predicts that $(-1)^n\chi(X)\geq 0$. We prove this conjecture when $X$ is a complex…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\Omega$ be a universal domain over $k$. Let $f:X \r S$ be a dominant morphism defined over $k$ from a smooth projective variety $X$ to a smooth projective variety $S$ of dimension $\leq 2$ such that the general…

In this paper we prove a finiteness result concerning the Chow group of zero-cycles for varieties over $p$-adic local fields. In this final version, there are several corrections concerning mathematical symbols and reference to related…

For a smooth projective variety $X$ over a number field $k$ a conjecture of Bloch and Beilinson predicts that the kernel of the Albanese map of $X$ is a torsion group. In this article we consider a product $X=C_1\times\cdots\times C_d$ of…

We compute the Chow group of zero-cycles on certain Ch{\^a}telet surfaces over local fields.

We prove that the Chow motive with integral coefficient of a geometrically rational surfaces~$S$ over a perfect field~$k$ is zero dimensional if and only if the Picard group of~$\bar{k}\times_{k}S$, where~$\bar{k}$ is an algebraic closure…

We introduce an exact category of torsion-free constructible tori and an abelian category of constructible tori over a Dedekind scheme with perfect residue fields. The first one has an explicit description as $2$-term complexes of smooth…

A result of Green and Griffiths states that for the generic curve $C$ over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g \geq 4$ with a canonical divisor $K$, its Faber--Pandharipande 0-cycle $K\times K-(2g-2)K_\Delta$ on $C\times C$ is nontorsion in the Chow…

Colliot-Th{\'e}l{\`e}ne has determined the Chow group of zero-cycles on a Ch{\^a}telet surface X defined over a finite extension K of the field of p-adic numbers (p an odd prime) when X is split by an unramified extension of K. Using…

Let $X$ be a product of smooth projective curves over a finite unramified extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Suppose that the Albanese variety of $X$ has good reduction and that $X$ has a $k$-rational point. We propose the following…

Let X be a K3 surface. We show that the Chow group CH_0(X) of 0-cycles contains a "fundamental class" c_X of degree 1 with remarkable properties: any product of divisors is proportional to this class, and so is the second Chern class…

If A is an abelian variety over a number field K, and L is a (possibly infinite) extension of K generated by torsion points of A, then the quotient of A(L) by its torsion subgroup is a free abelian group.

An old conjecture of Voisin describes how $0$-cycles on a surface $S$ should behave when pulled-back to the self-product $S^m$ for $m>p_g(S)$. We show that Voisin's conjecture is true for a $3$-dimensional family of surfaces of general type…

Associated to an algebraic curve $X$, there are two canonically constructed homologically trivial algebraic $1$-cycles, the Ceresa cycle in the Jacobian of $X$, and the Gross-Kudla-Schoen modified diagonal cycle in the triple product $X…

We study the Chow group of zero-cycles of smooth projective varieties over local and strictly local fields. We prove in particular the injectivity of the cycle class map to integral l-adic cohomology for a large class of surfaces with…

We improve and shorten the argument given in(Journal of Algebra, vol.~210 (1998) pp~291--297). Inparticular, the fact that Artin braid groups are torsion free now follows from Garside\'s results almost immediately.

In this paper we define a descending filtration on the Chow group of zero cycles for varieties of the form $A \times C_1 \times \cdots \times C_d$ where $A$ is an abelian variety and each $C_i$ is a smooth projective curve. We give explicit…

We show that, for a $K_0$-regular projective normal surface $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic and a reduced effective Cartier divisor $D\hookrightarrow X$, the Chow group of zero cycles on $X$ with modulus $D$…

We use the elements in $K$-cohomology groups which are constructed by Flach and Mildenhall to obtain a finiteness result for the torsion part of the Chow group of a self-product of a modular curve.

We prove that for a group $\mathrm{SO}_n(\mathrm{R}) \subset G \subset \mathrm{GL}_n (\mathrm{R})$, any $G$-structure on a smooth manifold can be endowed with a torsion free connection which is locally the Levi-Civita connection of a…
