Known cases of Tate conjecture for varieties which are smooth over a curve

What are some examples of smooth projective varieties $X$ over a finite field for which the Tate conjecture for divisors is known, and which admit a smooth morphism to a smooth projective curve? I am ...

Is the group of homologically trivial cycles in a variety over a finite field torsion?

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Is any cycle in the Chow group $CH^i(X)$ which is trivial in $\ell$-adic cohomology automatically torsion? For abelian varieties I believe ...

A question on the Chow group on stacks

Let $X$ be a separated Deligne-Mumford stack finite type over the ground field. Then there is a Chow group $A_*(X)$ of $X$ which is well-behaved under flat pull-back, defined as follows. Let $\...

Cycle of non-equidimensional scheme

In Fulton's intersection theory, example 1.7.1, he mentioned an example that contradicts to the splitting of cycles with respect to irreducible components. Consider the subscheme $X$ in $\mathbb{A}^3$ ...

Properties of codimension under pull back

If I pull back a cycle of codimension $c$ along a morphism of schemes I can easily see that the codimension can stay the same or the codimension can drop to all the way to $0$. But intuitively it ...

Group completion of Chow varieties

Let $X$ be a quasi-projective variety over a perfect field $k$. Given a projective embedding $j : X\to \mathbf{P}(\mathscr{E})$, the Chow variety $\text{Chow}_r(X, j)$ is a quasi-projective variety ...

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 $0\le p\le d$,...

Higher Chow groups for complete smooth intersections?

Let $F$ be a smooth complete intersection of $r$ hypersurfaces of degree $d_{1},\dots,d_{r}$ in $\mathbb{P}^{n+r}$ over an algebraic closed field. A classical result of A. Roitman says that the group ...

Is there a functor of points approach to algebraic cycles and intersection theory?

Motivation Most of the algebraic geometry I have done so far was concerned with group schemes (e.g., abelian schemes, tori, unipotent groups). In that part of the field the "functor of points POV" is ...
