Bloch's conjecture revisited

Abstract: Let

X

be a non-singular projective complex surface. We can show that Bloch's conjecture (i.e., that if

p_{g} = 0

then the Albanese kernel vanishes) is equivalent to the following statement: If

p_{g} (X) = 0

then for any given Zariski open

U s u b s e t X

and

there is a smaller Zariski open

V s u b s e t U

such that

omegamid_V =omega'+zeta

where

and

z e t a

is integral.
