Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and assume that $A$ is a central simple algebra of index $2^n > 2$. We denote by $\operatorname{SB}_i(A)$ the $i$-th (generalized) Severi–Brauer variety of ...

In the paper Ilev, Manivel - The Chow ring of the Cayley plane we can learn, that $CH^8(X)$, with $X := E_6/P_1$, denoting the Cayley plane, has three generators with one of them being the class of ...

In a new survey on $E_8$, namely Skip Garibaldi - E8 the most exceptional group , the author gives an example (Example 8.4., page 15) on how to construct a group of type E8 with a prescribed Tits-...

In the paper "Motivic construction of cohomological invariants", the author displays a list of known norm varieties for several $n,p$ on page $11$. For $p=2, n=5$ it says that a norm variety is given ...

Over the last decade Nikita Semenov, Skip Garibaldi and others have made some progress in the theory of cohomological invariants, (Rost)-motives and motivic decompositions of algebraic groups. For ...

One characteristic property of the so called norm varieties defined by Rost, is that they split pure symbols of Galois cohomology groups $H^n(k,\mu_p)$, meaning: For some $\alpha \in H^n(k,\mu_p)$ ...
