Abstract

Let EE be the Fermat cubic curve over Qˉ\bar{\mathbb{Q}}. In 2002, Schoen proved that the group CH2(E3)/CH^2(E^3)/\ell is infinite for all primes 1(mod3)\ell\equiv 1\pmod 3. We show that CH2(E3)/CH^2(E^3)/\ell is infinite for all prime numbers >5\ell> 5. This gives the first example of a smooth projective variety XX over Qˉ\bar{\mathbb{Q}} such that CH2(X)/CH^2(X)/\ell is infinite for all but at most finitely many primes \ell. A key tool is a recent theorem of Farb--Kisin--Wolfson, whose proof uses the prismatic cohomology of Bhatt--Scholze.
