Abstract: We prove the Bloch conjecture : $$ is torsion for holomorphic rank two vector bundles $E$ with an integrable connection over a complex projective variety $X$. We prove also the rationality of the Chern-Simons invariant of compact arithmetic hyperbolic three-manifolds. We give a sharp higher-dimensional Milnor inequality for the volume regulator of all representations to $PSO(1,n)$ of fundamental groups of compact $n$-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds, announced in our earlier paper.
