A CONSTRUCTION OF SURFACES WITH LARGE HIGHER CHOW GROUPS

In this paper, we construct surfaces in $\mathbf{P}^{3}$ with large higher Chow groups defined over a Laurent power series field. Explicit elements in higher Chow group are constructed using configurations of lines contained in the surfaces. To prove the independentness, we compute the extension class in the Galois cohomologies by comparing them with the classical monodromies. It is reduced to the computation of linear algebra using monodromy weight spectral sequences.

Higher Chow cycles on Abelian surfaces and a non-Archimedean analogue of the Hodge--conjecture

We construct new indecomposable elements in the higher Chow group $CH^2(A,1)$ of a principally polarized Abelian surface over a $p$-adic local field, which generalize an element constructed by Collino [Griffiths’ infinitesimal invariant and higher K-theory on hyperelliptic Jacobians, J. Algebraic Geom. 6 (1997), 393–415]. These elements are constructed using a generalization, due to Birkenhake and Wilhelm [Humbert surfaces and the Kummer plane, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 355 (2003), 1819–1841 (electronic)], of a classical construction of Humbert. They can be used to prove a non-Archimedean analogue of the Hodge-${\mathcal{D}}$-conjecture – namely, the surjectivity of the boundary map in the localization sequence – in the case where the Abelian surface has good and ordinary reduction.

Beilinson's Hodge Conjecture for Smooth Varieties

Let U/ℂ be a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension d, CHr (U,m) Bloch's higher Chow group, andclr,m: CHr (U,m) ⊗ ℚ → homMHS (ℚ(0), H2r−m (U, ℚ(r)))the cycle class map. Beilinson once conjectured clr,m to be surjective [Be]; however, Jannsen was the first to find a counterexample in the case m = 1 [Ja1]. In this paper we study the image of clr,m in more detail (as well as at the “generic point” of U) in terms of kernels of Abel-Jacobi mappings. When r = m, we deduce from the Bloch-Kato conjecture (now a theorem) various results, in particular that the cokernel of clm,m at the generic point is the same for integral or rational coefficients.
