Conjecture (E) for zero-cycles on rationally connected varieties
Conjecture (E) for zero-cycles on rationally connected varieties
Let be a smooth proper variety over a number field . Let be the set of finite places of and the set of infinite places. For each infinite place , let be an algebraic closure of , and let denote the norm map. Consider the complex
The second map is the sum of the local pairings of zero-cycles with Brauer classes, followed by the local class-field-theoretic invariant. Conjecture (E). If is rationally connected, this complex is exact.
This is the zero-cycle analogue of the rational-points conjecture above and is attributed to Colliot-Thélène, Sansuc, Kato and Saito. It expresses that the Brauer–Manin pairing gives the only obstruction to the expected local-to-global exactness for zero-cycles on rationally connected varieties; the general assertion remains open.
