Chow motives of twisted flag varieties

چکیده
Let G be an adjoint simple algebraic group of inner type. We express the Chow motive (with integral coefficients) of some anisotropic projective G-homogeneous varieties in terms of motives of simpler G-homogeneous varieties, namely, those that correspond to maximal parabolic subgroups of G. We decompose the motive of a generalized Severi-Brauer variety SB2(A), where A is a division algebra of degree 5, into a direct sum of two indecomposable motives. As an application we provide another counter-example to the uniqueness of a direct sum decomposition in the category of motives with integral coefficients.

Chow Ring of Generically Twisted Varieties of Complete Flags
Let G be a split simple affine algebraic group of type A or C over a field k, and let E be a standard generic G-torsor over a field extension of k. We compute the Chow ring of the variety of Borel subgroups of G (also called the variety of complete flags of G), twisted by E. In most cases, the answer contains a large finite torsion subgroup. The torsion-free cases have been treated in the prede...
متن کاملMotivic decomposition of anisotropic varieties of type F4 into generalized Rost motives
We prove that the Chow motive of an anisotropic projective homogeneous variety of type F4 is isomorphic to the direct sum of twisted copies of a generalized Rost motive. In particular, we provide an explicit construction of a generalized Rost motive for a generically splitting variety for a symbol in K3 (k)/3. We also establish a motivic isomorphism between two anisotropic non-isomorphic projec...
متن کاملGrothendieck Chow-motives of Severi-Brauer varieties
For any central simple algebra, the Grothendieck Chow-motive of the corresponding Severi-Brauer variety is decomposed in a direct sum where each summand is a twisted motive of the Severi-Brauer variety corresponding to the underlying division algebra. It leads to decompositions in other theories (for instance, of K-cohomologies) because of the universal property of the Chow-motives. In the seco...
متن کاملTits p-indexes of semisimple algebraic groups
The first author has recently shown that semisimple algebraic groups are classified up to motivic equivalence by the local versions of the classical Tits indexes over field extensions, known as Tits p-indexes. We provide in this article the complete description of the values of the Tits p-indexes over fields. From this exhaustive study, we also deduce criteria for motivic equivalence of semisim...
متن کاملChow Groups of Some Generically Twisted Flag Varieties
We classify the split simple affine algebraic groups G of types A and C over a field with the property that the Chow group of the quotient variety E/P is torsion-free, where P ⊂ G is a special parabolic subgroup (e.g., a Borel subgroup) and E is a generic G-torsor (over a field extension of the base field). Examples of G include the adjoint groups of type A. Examples of E/P include the Severi-B...
