One cycles on rationally connected varieties

چکیده
We prove that every curve on a separably rationally connected variety is rationally equivalent to a (non-effective) integral sum of rational curves. That is, the Chow group of 1-cycles is generated by rational curves. Applying the same technique, we also show that the Chow group of 1-cycles on a separably rationally connected Fano complete intersections of index at least 2 is generated by lines. As a consequence, we give a positive answer to a question of Professor Totaro about integral Hodge classes on rationally connected 3-folds. And by a result of Professor Voisin, the general case is a consequence of the Tate conjecture for surfaces over finite fields.

Rationally Connected Varieties over Finite Fields
Let X be a geometrically rational (or, more generally, separably rationally connected) variety over a finite field K . We prove that if K is large enough, then X contains many rational curves defined over K . As a consequence we prove that R-equivalence is trivial on X if K is large enough. These results imply the following conjecture of J.L. Colliot-Thélène: Let Y be a rationally connected var...
متن کاملFamilies of Rationally Connected Varieties
1.1. Statement of results. We will work throughout over the complex numbers, so that the results here apply over any algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Recall that a proper variety X is said to be rationally connected if two general points p, q ∈ X are contained in the image of a map g : P → X . This is clearly a birationally invariant property. When X is smooth, this turns out to ...
متن کامل2 Rationally Connected Varieties over Finite Fields
In this paper we study rationally connected varieties defined over finite fields. Then we lift these results to rationally connected varieties over local fields. Roughly speaking, a variety X over an algebraically closed field is rationally connected if it contains a rational curve through any number of assigned points P1, . . . , Pn. See [Kollár01a] for an introduction to their theory and for ...

متن کاملRemarks on curve classes on rationally connected varieties
We study for rationally connected varieties X the group of degree 2 integral homology classes on X modulo those which are algebraic. We show that the Tate conjecture for divisor classes on surfaces defined over finite fields implies that this group is trivial for any rationally connected variety.
