Introduction

Author(s):

This chapter discusses some crucial notions to the interplay between cohomology and Chow groups, and also to the consequences, for the topology of a family of smooth projective varieties, of statements concerning Chow groups of the general or very general fiber. It surveys the main ideas and results presented throughout this volume. First, the chapter discusses the decomposition of the diagonal and spread. It then explains the generalized Bloch conjecture, the converse to the generalized decomposition of the diagonal. Next, the chapter turns to the decomposition of the small diagonal and its application to the topology of families. Finally, the chapter discusses integral coefficients and birational invariants before providing a brief overview of the following chapters.

Abstract Assume that we have a fibration of smooth projective varieties X → S over a surface S such that X is of dimension four and that the geometric generic fiber has finite-dimensional motive and the first étale cohomology of the geometric generic fiber with respect to ℚ l coefficients is zero and the second étale cohomology is spanned by divisors. We prove that then A 3(X), the group of codimension three algebraically trivial cycles modulo rational equivalence, is dominated by finitely many copies of A 0(S); this means that there exist finitely many correspondences Γi on S × X such that Σ i Γi is surjective from A 2(S) to A 3(X).

In this paper, we generalize the injectivity of the push-forward homomorphism at the level of Chow groups, induced by the closed embedding of [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a smooth projective curve, to symmetric powers of a smooth projective variety of higher dimension. We also prove the analog of this theorem for product of symmetric powers of smooth projective varieties. As an application we prove the injectivity of the push-forward homomorphism at the level of Chow groups, induced by the closed embedding of self-product of theta divisor into the self-product of the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve.

AbstractLet f : E → B be a dominant morphism, where E and B are smooth irreducible complex quasi-projective varieties, and let Fb be the general fiber of f. We present conditions under which the homomorphism π1(Fb) → π1(E) induced by the inclusion is injective.

We provide an explicit formula on the growth rate of ample heights of rational points under iteration of endomorphisms of smooth projective varieties over number fields. As an application, we give a positive answer to a variant of the Dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture for pairs of étale endomorphisms, which is also a variant of the original one stated by Bell, Ghioca, and Tucker in their monograph.

AbstractWe prove an analogue of the Riemann–Hurwitz theorem for computing Euler characteristics of pullbacks of coherent sheaves through finite maps of smooth projective varieties in arbitrary dimensions, subject only to the condition that the irreducible components of the branch and ramification locus have simple normal crossings.

This paper generalizes the geometric part of the Esnault–Viehweg paper on Dyson's Lemma for a product of projective lines. Using the method of weak positivity from algebraic geometry, we are able to study products of smooth projective varieties of arbitrary dimension and to prove a geometric analogue of Dyson's Lemma for this case. Our main result is in fact a quantitative version of Faltings' product theorem.
