Let $k$ be a commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra. We study families of functors between categories of finitely generated $R$-modules which are defined for all commutative $k$-algebras $R$ simultaneously and are compatible with base changes.…
We investigate deformations of skew group algebras that arise from a finite cyclic group acting on a polynomial ring in positive characteristic, where characteristic divides the order of the group. We allow deformations which deform both…
To an arbitrary variety over a field of characteristic zero, we associate a complex of Chow motives, which is, up to homotopy, unique and bounded. We deduce that any variety has a natural Euler characteristic in the Grothendieck group of…
We examine the tangent groups at the identity, and more generally the formal completions at the identity, of the Chow groups of algebraic cycles on a nonsingular quasiprojective algebraic variety over a field of characteristic zero. We…
We study two-dimensional cyclic quotient singularities defined by $k$-Wahl chains, a class of Hirzebruch--Jung continued fractions obtained inductively starting from $[k+2]$. This class includes the classical Wahl singularities in the case…
We study the K_0 and K_1-groups of exact and triangulated categories of perfect complexes, and we apply the results to show how determinant functors on triangulated categories can be used for the construction of Euler characteristics in…
This paper proposes a conjectural picture for the structure of the Chow ring of a (projective) hyper-K\"ahler variety, and the construction of a Beauville decomposition, with emphasis on the Chow group of $0$-cycles, which is endowed with a…
We introduce a notion of `proChow group' of varieties, agreeing with the notion of Chow group for complete varieties and covariantly functorial with respect to arbitrary morphisms. We construct a natural transformation from the functor of…
The work of Buch and Fulton established a formula for a general kind of degeneracy locus associated to an oriented quiver of type $A$. The main ingredients in this formula are Schur determinants and certain integers, the quiver…
We discuss various connections between ideal classes, divisors, Picard and Chow groups of one-dimensional noetherian domains. As a result of these, we give a method to compute Chow groups of orders in global fields and show that there are…
As an attempt to understand motives over $k[x]/(x^m)$, we define the cubical additive higher Chow groups with modulus for all dimensions extending the works of S. Bloch, H. Esnault and K. R\"ulling on 0-dimensional cycles. We give an…
New formulas are given for Chow forms, discriminants and resultants arising from (not necessarily normal) toric varieties of codimension 2. Exact descriptions are also given for the secondary polygon and for the Newton polygon of the…
The Chow groups of codimension-p algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence on a smooth algebraic variety X have steadfastly resisted the efforts of algebraic geometers to fathom their structure. This book explores a "linearization"…
The cosimplicial scheme $$Delta^bullet = \Delta^0 smallmatrix \to smallmatrix \Delta^1 smallmatrix to smallmatrix ...;\quad \Delta^n :=\Spec\Big(k[t_0,...c,t_n]/(\sum t_i -t)\Big)$$ was used in B to define higher Chow groups. In this note,…
We study some conjectures about Chow groups of varieties of geometric genus one. Some examples are given of Calabi-Yau threefolds where these conjectures can be verified, using the theory of finite-dimensional motives.
We prove a determinantal formula and Pfaffian formulas that respectively describe the $K$-theoretic degeneracy loci classes for Grassmann bundles and for symplectic Grassmann and odd orthogonal bundles. The former generalizes…
In this exposition we understand when the natural map from the Chow variety parametrizing codimension $p$ cycles on a smooth projective variety $X$ to the Chow group $\CH^p(X)$ is surjective. We derive some consequences when the map is…
We define an extended Bloch group for an arbitrary field F, and show that this group is canonically isomorphic to K_3^ind(F) if F is a number field. This gives an explicit description of K_3^ind(F) in terms of generators and relations. We…
In infinitesimal deformation theory, a classical criterion due to Schlessinger gives an intrinsic characterisation of functors that are pro-representable, and more generally, of the ones that have a hull. Our result is that in this setting…
We define the Chow ring of the classifying space of a linear algebraic group. In all the examples where we can compute it, such as the symmetric groups and the orthogonal groups, it is isomorphic to a natural quotient of the complex…
