Beilinson–Bloch conjecture for smooth projective varieties over global fields

Let YY be a smooth projective variety over a global field, and let iZi\in\mathbb{Z}. Write CHi(Y)0\operatorname{CH}^i(Y)_0 for the kernel of the cycle class map on CHi(Y)\operatorname{CH}^i(Y). Let L(H2i1(Y,Q),s)L(H^{2i-1}(\overline{Y},\mathbb{Q}_{\ell}),s) be the associated LL-function. Beilinson–Bloch conjecture.

dimQCHi(Y)0=ords=iL(H2i1(Y,Q),s).\dim_{\mathbb{Q}}\operatorname{CH}^i(Y)_0=\operatorname*{ord}_{s=i}L(H^{2i-1}(\overline{Y},\mathbb{Q}_{\ell}),s).

This predicts that the rank of the homologically trivial codimension-ii Chow group equals the order of vanishing of the relevant LL-function. The source recalls it as the conjectural description of the kernel of the cycle class map over a global field; no resolution status is supplied.

  1. Beilinson–Bloch conjecture for smooth projective varieties over global fields

    Let XX be a smooth projective variety over a global field kk. For 0idimX0\leq i\leq\dim X, let CHi(X)0\operatorname{CH}^i(X)_0 denote the subgroup of codimension-ii cycles that are homologically trivial, and let L(H2i1(Xk,Q),s)L(H^{2i-1}(X_{\overline{k}},{\mathbb Q}_\ell),s) be the associated Hasse–Weil LL-function.

    Beilinson–Bloch conjecture. For every 0idimX0\leq i\leq\dim X,

    dimQCHi(X)0=ords=iL(H2i1(Xk,Q),s).\dim_{\mathbb Q}\operatorname{CH}^i(X)_0=\operatorname*{ord}_{s=i}L(H^{2i-1}(X_{\overline{k}},{\mathbb Q}_\ell),s).

    This relates the rank of the group of homologically trivial cycles to the order of vanishing of the relevant LL-function. The supplied text gives no resolution status, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
