We exhibit invariants of smooth projective algebraic varieties with integer values, whose nonvanishing modulo $p$ prevents the existence of an action without fixed points of certain finite $p$-groups. The case of base fields of characteristic $p$ is included. Counterexamples are systematically provided to test the sharpness of our results.

It is a familiar fact that the arithmetic genus pa and the arithmetic linear genus ω of a general surface are linear functions of its four projective characters; and we find by direct calculation that a similar property holds for the numerical invariants of a general threefold. The question thus arises, whether this result can be established a priori for any algebraic variety Vk of general type, since in that case we should have a simple means of determining its numerical invariants. It has been shown by Severi that, subject to a certain assumption, the arithmetic genus pk of Vk is a function of its projective characters, while it is known that, for k ≤ 4, pk coincides with the arithmetic genus Pa obtained by the second definition (§ 5). In the present paper we obtain, by using Severi's postulate, expressions for the arithmetic genera of a V3 and a V4 in terms of their projective characters. We obtain also the characters of their virtual canonical systems and hence derive formulae for the relative invariants Ωi. For this purpose we replace certain projective characters of Vk by others which are more easily computed and better adapted to a simple notation.

This book provides an introduction to algebraic cycles on complex algebraic varieties, to the major conjectures relating them to cohomology, and even more precisely to Hodge structures on cohomology. The book is intended for both students and researchers, and not only presents a survey of the geometric methods developed in the last thirty years to understand the famous Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, but also examines recent work by the author. It focuses on two central objects: the diagonal of a variety—and the partial Bloch-Srinivas type decompositions it may have depending on the size of Chow groups—as well as its small diagonal, which is the right object to consider in order to understand the ring structure on Chow groups and cohomology. An exploration of a sampling of recent works by the author looks at the relation, conjectured in general by Bloch and Beilinson, between the coniveau of general complete intersections and their Chow groups and a very particular property satisfied by the Chow ring of K3 surfaces and conjecturally by hyper-Kähler manifolds. In particular, the book delves into arguments originating in Nori's work that have been further developed by others.
