Conjecture (E) for zero-cycles on rationally connected varieties

Let XX be a smooth proper variety over a number field kk. Let Ωf\Omega_f be the set of finite places of kk and Ω\Omega_\infty the set of infinite places. For each infinite place vv, let kv\overline{k}_v be an algebraic closure of kvk_v, and let Nkv/kvN_{\overline{k}_v/k_v} denote the norm map. Consider the complex

CH0(X)vΩfCH0(Xkv)×vΩCH0(Xkv)Nkv/kv(CH0(Xkv))Hom(Br(X),Q/Z).\mathrm{CH}_0(X) \longrightarrow \prod_{v \in \Omega_f} \mathrm{CH}_0(X_{k_v}) \times \prod_{v \in \Omega_\infty} \frac{\mathrm{CH}_0(X_{k_v})}{N_{\overline{k}_v/k_v}(\mathrm{CH}_0(X_{\overline{k}_v}))} \longrightarrow \operatorname{Hom}(\operatorname{Br}(X),{\mathbf Q}/{\mathbf Z}).

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 XX 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.
