Tautological Cycles on Jacobian Varieties
We prove that Bloch’s conjecture is true for surfaces with obtained as -sets of a section of a very ample vector bundle on a variety with “trivial” Chow groups. We get a similar result in presence of a finite group action, showing that if a projector of the group acts as on holomorphic -forms of , then it acts as on -cycles of degree of . In higher dimension, we also prove a similar but conditional result showing that the generalized Hodge conjecture for general implies the...
Let be a curve over a field with a rational point . We define a canonical cycle . Suppose that is a number field and that has semi-stable reduction over the integers of with fiber components non-singular. We construct a regular model of and show that the height pairing is well defined where and are correspondences. The paper ends with a brief discussion of heights and -functions in the case that is a modular curve.
For a proper local embedding between two Deligne-Mumford stacks and , we find, under certain mild conditions, a new (possibly non-separated) Deligne-Mumford stack , with an etale, surjective and universally closed map to the target , and whose fiber product with the image of the local embedding is a finite union of stacks with corresponding etale, surjective and universally closed maps to . Moreover, a natural set of weights on the substacks of allows the construction of a universally closed...
We describe the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable -pointed curves of genus one of compact type. It is proven that it is a Gorenstein algebra.
In the paper we introduce a transcendence degree of a zero-cycle on a smooth projective variety X and relate it to the structure of the motive of X. In particular, we show that in order to prove Bloch’s conjecture for a smooth projective complex surface X of general type with p g = 0 it suffices to prove that one single point of a transcendence degree 2 in X(ℂ), over the minimal subfield of definition k ⊂ ℂ of X, is rationally equivalent to another single point of a transcendence degree zero over...
For the Grothendieck group of a split simple linear algebraic group, the twisted γ-filtration provides a useful tool for constructing torsion elements in -rings of twisted flag varieties. In this paper, we construct a non-trivial torsion element in the γ-ring of a complete flag variety twisted by means of a PGO-torsor. This generalizes the construction in the HSpin case previously obtained by Zainoulline.
