Cycle map for strictly decomposable cycles

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce a class of cycles, called nondegenerate, strictly decomposable cycles, and show that the image of each cycle in this class under the refined cycle map to an extension group in the derived category of arithmetic mixed Hodge structures does not vanish. This class contains certain cycles in the kernel of the Abel-Jacobi map. The construction gives a refinement of Nori's argument in the case of a self-product of a curve. As an application, we show that a higher cycle which is not annihilated by the reduced higher Abel-Jacobi map produces uncountably many indecomposable higher cycles on the product with a variety having a nonzero global 1-form.


The authors introduce a class of cycles, called nondegenerate, strictly decomposable cycles, and show that the images of them under the refined cycle map to an extension group in the derived category of arithmetic mixed Hodge structures do not vanish. To give concrete application they discuss the following situation. Let \(X_1\), \(X_2\) be smooth projective varieties over \(\mathbb{C}\), and let \(X= X_1\times X_2\). Let \(X= X_1\times X_2\). Let \(\zeta= \zeta_1\times \zeta_2\in \text{CH}^2(X)_{\mathbb{Q}}\), where \(\zeta_i\in \text{CH}^1(X_i)\) is assumed to be nontorsion and homologically trivial. Then \(\xi\) defines an element in the kernel of the Abel-Jacobi map. The general results provide us in this case with the following: Assume that there exists an algebraically closed subfield \(k\) of \(\mathbb{C}\) such that \(X_1\), \(X_2\) and \(\zeta_1\) are defined over \(k\), but \(\zeta_2\) is not. Then the cycle \(\zeta\) does not vanish in \(\text{CH}^2(X)_{\mathbb{Q}}\).
