On the Torsion of Chow Groups of Severi-brauer Varieties

چکیده
In this paper, we generalize a result of Karpenko on the torsion in the second quotient of the gamma filtration for Severi-Brauer varieties to higher degrees. As an application, we provide a nontrivial torsion in higher Chow groups and the topological filtration of the associated generic variety and obtain new upper bounds for the annihilators of the torsion subgroups in the Chow groups of a large class of Severi-Brauer varieties. In particular, using the torsion in higher degrees, we find new indecomposable algebras.

Torsion in CH of Severi-Brauer varieties and indecomposability of generic algebras
We compute degrees of algebraic cycles on certain Severi-Brauer varieties and apply it to show that: a generic division algebra of index p and exponent p is not decomposable (in a tensor product of two algebras) for any prime p and any α except the case when p = 2 and 2 | α; the 2-codimensional Chow group CH of the Severi-Brauer variety corresponding to the generic division algebra of index 8 a...
متن کاملCodimension 2 Cycles on Severi-brauer Varieties
For a given sequence of integers (ni) ∞ i=1 we consider all the central simple algebras A (over all fields) satisfying the condition ind A = ni and find among them an algebra having the biggest torsion in the second Chow group CH of the corresponding Severi-Brauer variety (“biggest” means that it can be mapped epimorphically onto each other). We describe this biggest torsion in a way in general...
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...
متن کاملCodimension 2 Cycles on Products of Projective Homogeneous Surfaces
In the present paper, we provide general bounds for the torsion in the codimension 2 Chow groups of the products of projective homogeneous surfaces. In particular, we determine the torsion for the product of four Pfister quadric surfaces and the maximal torsion for the product of three Severi-Brauer surfaces. We also find an upper bound for the torsion of the product of three quadric surfaces w...
متن کاملCodimension 2 Cycles on Quadratic Weil Transfer of Biquaternionic Severi-brauer Variety
Let F be a field, B a biquaternion F -algebra, L/F an étale quadratic extension, X the Weil transfer with respect to L/F of the Severi-Brauer variety of BL. We show that the Chow group of codimension 2 cycle classes on X is torsion-free. Our Chow groups are those with integral coefficients. The motives used in the proof are the Grothendieck Chow motives (still with the integral coefficients) as...
