We compute explicit bases for the de Rham cohomology of cyclic covers of the projective line defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. For both Kummer and Artin-Schreier extensions, we describe precise…

In this short note we prove that an involution on certain examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0=q, K^2=3$, acts as identity on the Chow group of zero cycles of the relevant surface. In particular we consider examples of such…

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.

Let $k$ be the function field of a complex curve or the field $C((t))$. We show that for a smooth complete intersection $X$ of $r$ hypersurfaces in $P^n_k$ of respective degrees $d_1,...,d_r$ with $\sum d_i^2\leq n+1$ the R-equivalence on…

We prove that the Chow-Witt group of zero-cycles is a birational invariant of smooth proper schemes over a base field.

For a $p$-adic curve $X$, we study conditions under which all classes in the $n$-torsion of $Br(X)$ are $\mathbb{Z}/n$-cyclic. We show that in general not all classes are $\mathbb{Z}/n$-cyclic classes. On the other hand, if $X$ has good…

For a number field $K$, a finite set of primes $S$ not containing a fixed prime $p$, we explain when extensions of group schemes of $\mu_p$ by $\Z/p\Z$ split over the ring of $S$-integers $O_S$ of $K$.

Let $\bar{X}$ be a smooth quasi-projective $d$-dimensional variety over a field $k$ and let $D$ be an effective Cartier divisor on it. In this note, we construct cycle class maps from (a variant of) the higher Chow group with modulus of the…

In this paper, we construct higher Chow cycles of type $(2, 1)$ on a family of surfaces related to a product of curves, which are certain degree $N$ abelian covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$ branched over $n+2$ points. We prove that for a very…

Let $\Bbbk$ be any field of characteristic zero, $X$ be a cubic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3_{\Bbbk}$ and $G$ be a group acting on $X$. We show that if $X(\Bbbk) \ne \varnothing$ and $G$ is not trivial and not a group of order $3$ acting in a…

In this paper, we give an explicit construction of higher Chow cycles of type $(2,1)$ on $K3$ surfaces obtained as quadruple coverings of the projective plane ramified along smooth quartics. The construction uses a pair of bitangents of the…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $X$ be a projective variety embedded into a projective space over $k$. For two natural numbers $r$ and $d$ let $C_{r,d}(X)$ be the Chow scheme parametrizing effective cycles of dimension…

We provide an alternative proof that the Chow group of $1$-cycles on a Severi--Brauer variety associated to a biquaternion division algebra is torsion-free. There are three proofs of this result in the literature, all of which are due to…

We prove a moving lemma for the additive and ordinary higher Chow groups of relative $0$-cycles of regular semi-local $k$-schemes essentially of finite type over an infinite perfect field. From this, we show that the cycle classes can be…

To a smooth projective variety $X$ whose Chow group of $0$-cycles is $\mathbf Q$-universally trivial one can associate its torsion index $\mathrm{Tor}(X)$, the smallest multiple of the diagonal appearing in a cycle-theoretic decomposition…

We study the stable rationality problem for quadric and cubic surface bundles over surfaces from the point of view of the degeneration method for the Chow group of 0-cycles. Our main result is that a very general hypersurface X of bidegree…

We explicitly calculate an arithmetic adelic quotient group for a locally free sheaf on an arithmetic surface when the fiber over the infinite point of the base is taken into account. The calculations are presented via a short exact…

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…

We show how the notion of the transcendence degree of a zero-cycle on a smooth projective variety X is related to the structure of the motive M(X). This can be of particular interest in the context of Bloch's conjecture, especially for…

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…
