| Sep 22, 2017 at 7:33 | comment | added | Peter Heinig | Not yet explicitly mentioned in this thread: relevant is John Tates laudatio for Mumford, where on p. 11 one reads: "[...], what is the structure of the group of 0-cycles [on an algebraic surface S] of degree 0 modulo the subgroup of cycles rationally equivalent to zero, i.e., which can be deformed to 0 by a deformation which is parametrized by a line. [...] what about the kernel [of the epi to the Albanese variety of S]? Is it finite-dimensional. Severi thought so; but Mumford proved it is not, if the geometric genus of the surface is $\geq 1$." | |
