Abstract: In this note we show that given a smooth affine variety X over an algebraically closed field k and an effective (possibly non reduced) Cartier divisor D on it, the Kerz-Saito Chow group of zero cycles with modulus mCH0(X|D) is torsion free, except possibly for p-torsion if the characteristic of k is p>0. This generalizes to the relative setting classical theorems of Rojtman (for X smooth) and of Levine (for X singular). A stronger version of this result, that encompasses p-torsion as well, was proven with a different and more sophisticated method by A. Krishna and the author in another paper.


The author is generalizing to the relative setting classical results as the theorem of Rojtman (the smooth case) and its generalization to singular varieties of Levine. His main theorem is: Theorem. Let \(X\) be a smooth affine \(k\)-variety of dimension at least 2, \(D\) an effective divisor on it. Then the Chow group of zero cycles on \(X\) with modulus \(D\), \(\mathrm{CH}_0(X|D)\) is torsion free except possibly for \(p\)-torsion if the characteristic of \(k\) is \(p>0\) The main idea of the proof is based on generalizing to the relative setting of the arguments of the paper [\textit{M. Levine}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 46, 451--462 (1987; Zbl 0635.14007)]. This paper is a continuation of the author's previous paper on torsion 0-cycles [\textit{F. Binda} et al., J. Algebra 469, 437--463 (2017; Zbl 1374.14007)].
