On the Chow groups of certain geometrically rational 5-folds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give an explicit regular model for the quadric fibration studied in Pirutka (2011). As an application we show that this construction furnishes a counterexample for the integral Tate conjecture in any odd characteristic for some sufficiently large finite field. We study the etale cohomology of this regular model, and as a consequence we derive that these counterexamples are not torsion.


The author constructs explicit smooth projective varieties for which the integral Tate conjectures fails. The examples are constructed as quadric surface fibrations over \(\mathbb{P}^2\). For codimension \(2\) cycles on such \(X\), the author shows that the map \[ \mathrm{CH}^2(X)\otimes \mathbb{Z}_2 \to H^4_{\text{ét}}(X, \mathbb{Z}_2(2)) \] is not surjective. The author also shows that the group \(H^4_{\text{ét}}(X, \mathbb{Z}_2(2))\) is not torsion. So the failure of the integral Tate conjecture is not caused by torsion classes.
