Jan 13, 2018 at 17:55 comment added user97068 Ah. Misremembered!
Jan 13, 2018 at 17:54 comment added anon @P.S. An algebraic cycle is effective if all of its coefficients are non-negative.
Jan 13, 2018 at 17:49 comment added Julian Rosen @P.S. I don't understand the examples in your first comment. $[\{\pi\}]+[\{0\}]$ is not a cycle on $X$, but only on $X_K$. It we take $\xi=[\varnothing]$, then $\xi_K-\eta=-[\{\pi\}]$ is not effective.
Jan 13, 2018 at 17:37 comment added user97068 “symbols $[Z]$”: $Z$ over all closed sub varieties of $X$ of codimension one.
Jan 13, 2018 at 17:27 comment added user97068 I’m confused. If you define $Z^1(X)$ to be formal locally finite $\mathbf{Z}$-linear combinations of symbols $[Z]$ and define effective cycles as those whose total degree is positive, what’s wrong in taking $[\{\pi\}]+[\{0\}]$, or $[\varnothing]$ already effective? The OP doesn’t ask for an effective $\xi$.
