Abstract: We construct some natural cycles with trivial regulator in the higher Chow groups of Jacobians. For hyperelliptic curves we use a criterion due to J. Lewis to prove that the cycles we construct are indecomposable, and then use a specialization argument to prove indecomposability for more general curves. Please note that math.AG/9909062 has become an obsolete version of some of the results in the present paper.

Review text

Let \(X\) denote a smooth projective variety. The first higher Chow group \(\text{CH}^k(X, 1)\simeq H^{k-1}(X,{\mathcal K}_k)\) is generated by higher cycles of the form \(Z= \sum_i Z_i\otimes f_i\), with irreducible subvarieties \(Z_i\) of codimension \((k-1)\) and rational functions \(f_i\in k(Z_i)^\times\) satisfying \(\sum_i \text{div}(f_i)= 0\). Then \(\text{CH}^k_{\text{dec}}(X, 1)= \text{Im}\{\text{CH}^1(X, 1)\otimes \text{CH}^{k-1}(X)\to \text{CH}^k(X, 1)\}\) is the subgroup of decomposable cycles and \(\text{CH}^k_{\text{ind}}(X, 1)= \text{CH}^k(X, 1)/\text{CH}^k_{\text{dec}}(X, 1)\) is the quotient of indecomposable cycles. The paper considers the case that \(X\) is the Jacobian \(J(C)\) of a generic hyperelliptic curve of genus \(g\geq 3\). In the paper indecomposable elements of \(\text{CH}^g(J(C), 1)\) with trivial regulator are constructed and it is shown (theorem 4.1) that \(\text{CH}^g_{\text{ind}}(J(C), 1)_{\mathbb{Q}}\) is uncountable.
