Reference request on birational invariance of Chow group of zero cycles of degree zero

Let $CH_0(X)^0$ denote the group of zero cycles of degree zero modulo rational equivalence. I am looking for a reference for the following fact: If $X$ and $Y$ are smooth and projective varieties ...

How to think about $\mathbf{Z}(n)_{\mathcal{M}}$

One definition of motivic cohomology for smooth schemes $X$ over a field, is via Friedlander-Suslin complexes. A refresher (you may skip to the question at the bottom) One defines (1) $z_n(X,d) :=$...

On a class of loci in Chow varieties

Let $k$ be a field, $i:X\hookrightarrow \mathbf{P}(\mathscr{E})$ be a fixed projective embedding of a smooth projective $k$-variety $X$, whose dimension is pure and equals $d\ge 0$. For $0\le p\le d$,...

Progress on the standard conjectures on algebraic cycles

What's the current state of these conjectures? Who is working on them? In "Standard conjectures on algebraic cycles" Grothendieck says: "They would form the basis of the so-called "theory of ...

Why do people think that abelian varieties are the hardest case for the Hodge conjecture?

Today, I heard that people think that if you can prove the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties, then it should be true in general. Apparently this case is important enough (and hard enough) that ...

Sheaf-theoretic Grothendieck groups

Let $S$ be a scheme, $M\to S$ a commutative monoid object in algebraic $S$-spaces, ie. an algebraic $S$-space such that, functorially on $S$-schemes $T$, $M(T)$ is a commutative monoid with neutral ...

How to think about infinite generatedness of motivic cohomology

In this question I previously asked how to think about the motivic complex $\mathbf{Z}(1)_{\mathcal{M}}$, whose Zariski hypercohomology should morally be the "singular cohomology" $H^*((-)\wedge S^{2n}...

Is $MGL$ an $H\mathbb{Z}$-algebra?

Let $\mathrm{MGL}$ be the $\mathbb{P}^1$-ring spectrum over a field $k$ representing algebraic cobordism. Suppose, for simplicity, that $k$ is of characteristic 0. Let $H\mathbb{Z}$ be the motivic ...

Algebraic equivalence VS Numerical Equivalence - An Example.

This question is arose from the question Difference between equivalence relations on algebraic cycles and the example 3 in lecture 1 in Mumford's book Lectures on curves on an algebraic surface. ...

$l$-dependence of the group of homologically zero cycles

Consider the class map $$cl:CH^i(X)\to H^{2i}_{cont}(X,\mathbb{Z}_l(i))$$ where the RHS is the continuous etale cohomology(defined by Jannsen in his paper "Continuous etale cohomology"). In this paper ...

Locus where a family of cycles is rationally trivial is countable union of closed subvarieties?

Following up on this question which received a negative answer, I wonder if something weaker is true. We work in the same set-up as the previous question. Let $B$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety ...

Codimension restrictions on intersections

This is a question I stumbled across earlier this week. I see a similar one has been asked here. Suppose I have a smooth quasi projective variety $X$ over a field $K$, and I call $\text{Chow}^r(X\...

Varieties with Chow groups supported in positive codimension: examples and properties?

In their 1983 paper "Remarks on correspondences and algebraic cycles" Bloch and Srinivas proved several interesting properties of smooth proper varieties (over universal domains) whose Chow groups of ...

Locus where a family of cycles is rationally trivial is closed?

Let $B$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety over a field of characteristic zero. Let $\pi\colon \mathcal{X} \rightarrow B$ be a smooth and projective morphism with geometrically integral fibres. Let $...
