In this note we are going to consider a smooth projective surface equipped with an involution and study the action of the involution at the level of Chow group of zero cycles.

We show the existence of a regular universal quotient as a smooth commutative algebraic group of the Chow group of 0-cycles on a projective reduced variety, and give over the field of complex numbers an analytic description of it. This…

It is observed that the recent result of Voisin and earlier ones of the author suffice to prove in complete generality that symplectic automorphisms of finite order of a K3 surface X act as identity on the Chow group CH^2(X) of zero-cycles.

In this second part we study first the group $Aut_{\mathbb Q}(S)$ of numerically trivial automorphisms of an algebraic properly elliptic surface $S$, that is, of a minimal algebraic surface with Kodaira dimension $\kappa(S)=1$, in the case…

We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group…

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…

We investigate the structure of the higher Chow groups $CH^2(E,1)$ for an elliptic curve $E$ over a global function field $F$. Focusing on the kernel $V(E)$ of the push-forward map $CH^2(E,1)\to F^{\times}$ associated to the structure map…

We introduce a new obstruction to the existence of a universal $0$-cycle on a smooth projective complex variety. As an application, we construct a smooth projective complex surface whose Chow group of $0$-cycles is representable but which…

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…

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 the Levine-Weibel Chow group of 0-cycles $\CH^d(A)$ of a reduced affine algebra $A$ of dimension $d \ge 2$ over an algebraically closed field is torsion-free. Among several applications, it implies an affirmative solution to an…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective connected surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $\Sigma$ the linear system of a very ample divisor $D$ on $S$. Let $d:=\dim(\Sigma)$ be the dimension of $\Sigma$ and $\phi_{\Sigma}: S…

Let X be a smooth proper variety over a perfect field k of arbitrary characteristic. Let D be an effective divisor on X with multiplicity. We introduce an Albanese variety Alb(X, D) of X of modulus D as a higher dimensional analogon of the…

This note is about an old conjecture of Voisin, which concerns zero--cycles on the self-product of surfaces of geometric genus one. We prove this conjecture for surfaces with $p_g=1$ and $q=2$.

We classify minimal surfaces $S$ of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K_S^2=6$ whose Albanese map is a generically finite double cover. We show that the corresponding moduli space is the disjoint union of three generically smooth,…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with $q(S)=0$. We prove the following statements concerning the algebraic fundamental group: I) Assume that K^2_S\leq 3\chi(S). Then S has an irregular etale cover if and only if S has a…

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…

Let $X$ be a complex projective surface with arbitrary singularities. We construct a generalized Abel--Jacobi map $A_0(X)\to J^2(X)$ and show that it is an isomorphism on torsion subgroups. Here $A_0(X)$ is the appropriate Chow group of…

Frucht showed that, for any finite group $G$, there exists a cubic graph such that its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. For groups generated by two elements we simplify his construction to a graph with fewer nodes. In the general…
