Let (E,A) be an arbitrary pair, with associated Chow motive ME,A, Chow group CH(ME,A), Bloch–Kato Selmer groups Hf1(Q,(ME,A)p), L-function L(s,ME,A), and Chow class ΔE,A. Chow-rank conjecture for ME,A. (1) If at least one of dimQpHf1(Q,(ME,A)p)=0 for some prime p, dimQCH(ME,A)=0, or ords=0L(s,ME,A)=0 holds, then for every prime p,
dimQCH(ME,A)=ords=0L(s,ME,A)=dimQpHf1(Q,(ME,A)p)=0.
(2) If at least one of dimQpHf1(Q,(ME,A)p)=1 for some prime p, dimQCH(ME,A)=1, or ords=0L(s,ME,A)=1 holds, then ΔE,A=0 and, for every prime p,
dimQCH(ME,A)=ords=0L(s,ME,A)=dimQpHf1(Q,(ME,A)p)=1.
The class ΔE,A may be constructed in a similar way. This proposal packages the expected equality between Chow rank, Selmer rank, and the order of vanishing at zero; it is not proved in the supplied text.
