Abstract: We construct new indecomposable elements in the higher Chow group CH2(A,1) of a principally polarized Abelian surface over a non Archimedean local field, which generalize an element constructed by Collino. These elements are constructed using a generalization, due to Birkenhake and Wilhelm, of a classical construction of Humbert, along with some recent work of Bogomolov, Hassett and Tschinkel on deformations of rational curves on a K3 surface. They can be used to prove the non-Archimedean Hodge-D-conjecture - namely, the surjectivity of the boundary map in the localization sequence - in the case when the Abelian surface has good and ordinary reduction. This is a revised and updated version of an earlier preprint with the name `Abelian surfaces, Kummer surfaces and the non-Archimedean Hodge-D-conjecture.'


Consider a simple, principally polarized, abelian surface \(A\) over a \(p\)-adic local field \(\mathcal K_p\). Let \(\mathcal A\) be the NΓ©ron model of \(A\) over \(\mathcal O_{{\mathcal K_p}}\) where \(p \neq 2\) is an odd prime of good non-supersingular reduction and let \(\mathcal A_p\) be the special fibre. Aim of the paper is the proof of the surjectivity of the boundary arrow \( \partial : \text{CH}^2(A,1)\otimes{\mathbb Q} {\rightarrow} \mathrm{CH}^1(\mathcal A_p) \otimes \mathbb Q\). Recall that the `Archimedean' Hodge-\(\mathcal D\)-conjecture of Beilinson asserts that the regulator map to Deligne cohomology is surjective. The author explains how \(\partial\) can be understood as a non-Archimedean analogue of the Beilinson regulator map and therefore he refers to his result as a proof of the \textit{non-Archimedean Hodge-\(\mathcal D\)-conjecture} in the present setting.NEWLINENEWLINETo prove surjectivity of \(\partial\) one needs to have geometrical control of the rank of the NΓ©ron-Severi group of the non singular surface \(\mathcal A_p\). This can be done concretely, by looking to the related Kummer surface and to the associated plane. Obstruction to the surjectivity could come only from unexpected, new classes in \(\mathrm{NS}(\mathcal A_p)\). The author shows that those cycles correspond to the union of two rational curves on the Kummer. Deformation theory of such couples is at the heart of the clever construction of the element in \(\mathrm{CH}^2(A,1)\) whose boundary gives back the new class one had started with.
