For each integer $\ell \geq 1$, we prove an unconditional upper bound on the size of the $\ell$-torsion subgroup of the class group, which holds for all but a zero-density set of field extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, for any fixed…

For $n\leq 4$, we compute the indecomposible higher Chow groups $\overline{\operatorname{CH}}(\mathcal{M}_{1,n},1)$ with integer coefficients. As an application, we give new proofs of presentations of the integral Chow rings…

Conventional wisdom dictates that $\mathbb{Z}_N$ factors in the integral cohomology group $H^p(X_n, \mathbb{Z})$ of a compact manifold $X_n$ cannot be computed via smooth $p$-forms. We revisit this lore in light of the dimensional reduction…

A theorem of Manin and Drinfeld states that any divisor of degree $0$ on the cusps of a modular curve is torsion in the Jacobian. An elegant proof of this result was provided by Elkik using mixed Hodge theory. Rohrlich proved a…

Cyclic coverings produce many examples of topologically contractible smooth affine complex varieties. In this paper, we study the motivic cohomology groups of cyclic coverings over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $0$. In…

Let $f : X \rightarrow B$ be a proper flat dominant morphism between two smooth quasi-projective complex varieties $X$ and $B$. Assume that there exists an integer $l$ such that all closed fibres $X_b$ of $f$ satisfy $CH_j(X_b) = \Q$ for…

We show that the cycle map on a variety X, from algebraic cycles modulo algebraic equivalence to integer cohomology, lifts canonically to a topologically defined quotient of the complex cobordism ring of X. This more refined cycle map gives…

We compute the Chern subgroup of the 4-th integral cohomology group of a certain classifying space and show that it is a proper subgroup. Such a classifying space gives us new counterexamples for the integral Hodge and Tate conjectures…

This paper studies the canonical Chow quotient of a smooth projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. The main purpose is to give some topological interpretations and characterization of Chow quotient which have the advantage to be…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field k, and l be a prime number invertible in k. We study the (\'etale) unramified H^3 of X with coefficients Q_l/Z_l(2) in the style of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Voisin. If k is separably closed, finite or…
