We consider the involution changing the sign of two coordinates in 4-dimensional projective space. The intersection S of invariant cubic and quadric hypersurfaces in P^4 is a K3-surface with the induced symplectomorphic action on its second…

Symplectic involutions of a K3 surface are those involutions which leave the holomorphic 2-form invariant. We show, as predicted by Bloch's conjecture, that they act trivially on the CH_0 group of the K3 surface. This was recently proved by…

Quaternionic Shimura surfaces are quotient of the bidisc by an irreducible cocompact arithmetic group. In the present paper we are interested in (smooth) quaternionic Shimura surfaces admitting an automorphism with one dimensional fixed…

We prove effective versions of algebraic and analytic Lang's conjectures for product-quotient surfaces of general type with $P_g=0$ and $c_1^2=c_2$.

We study the Chow group of zero-cycles $\text{CH}_0(S)$ of a bielliptic surface $S=(E_1\times E_2)/G$, where $E_1, E_2$ are elliptic curves and $G$ is a finite group acting on $E_1$ by translations and on $E_2$ by automorphisms such that…

In this paper, we propose and study a conjecture that symplectic automorphisms of a $K3$ surface $X$ act trivially on the indecomposable part $\mathrm{CH}^2(X,1)_{\mathrm{ind}}\otimes \mathbb{Q}$ of Bloch's higher Chow group. This is a…

In this note we prove that the Beilinson conjecture holds for certain examples of K3 surfaces over $\bar {\mathbb{Q}}$ equipped with an involution, when the quotient of the surface by the involution is the projective plane branched along a…

In this paper we discuss an obstruction to the integral Hodge conjecture, which arises from certain behavior of vanishing cycles. This allows us to construct new counter-examples to the integral Hodge conjecture. One typical such…

We prove that every element of order 2 in the Brauer group of a complex Kummer surface X descends to an Enriques quotient of X. In 'generic' cases this gives a bijection between the set Enr(X) of Enriques quotients of X up to isomorphism…

Generalized Burniat surfaces are surfaces of general type with $p_g=q$ and Euler number $e=6$ obtained by a variant of Inoue's construction method for the classical Burniat surfaces. I prove a variant of the Bloch conjecture for these…

Inspired by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, Voisin has formulated a conjecture concerning the behaviour of 0-cycles on self-products of varieties of geometric genus one. This note presents some new examples of surfaces for which Voisin's…

The hypothetical existence of a good theory of mixed motives predicts many deep phenomena related to algebraic cycles. One of these, a generalization of Bloch's conjecture says that "small Hodge diamonds" go with "small Chow groups".…

We study surfaces of general type $S$ with $p_g=0$ and $K^2=3$ having an involution $i$ such that the bicanonical map of $S$ is not composed with $i$. It is shown that, if $S/i$ is not rational, then $S/i$ is birational to an Enriques…

We prove Bloch's conjecture for numerical Campedelli surfaces with fundamental group of order $9$.

We prove Bloch's formula for the Chow group of 0-cycles with modulus on smooth projective varieties over finite fields. The proof relies on two new results in global ramification theory.

We give an explicit description of the Godeaux surfaces that admit an involution such that the quotient surface is birational to an Enriques surface; these surfaces give a 6-dimensional unirational irreducible subset of the moduli space of…

We generalize Bloch's map on torsion cycles from algebraically closed fields to arbitrary fields. While Bloch's map over algebraically closed fields is injective for zero-cycles and for cycles of codimension at most two, we show that the…

This note is about the Hilbert square $X=S^{[2]}$, where $S$ is a general $K3$ surface of degree $10$, and the anti-symplectic birational involution $\iota$ of $X$ constructed by O'Grady. The main result is that the action of $\iota$ on…

We prove that two general Enriques surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$ are isomorphic if their Kuznetsov components are equivalent. We apply the same techniques to give a new simple proof…

Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety, and let $G$ be a group of finite order non-symplectic automorphisms of $X$. Beauville's conjectural splitting property predicts that each Chow group of $X$ should split in a finite number of pieces. The…
