Finiteness of Torsion in the Codimension-Two Chow Group: An Axiomatic Approach

  • Chapter
The Arithmetic and Geometry of Algebraic Cycles

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 548))

Abstract

The author gives an overview on recent progress in the study of torsion zero cycles. The new methods that have been developped to obtain finiteness results on the torsion in the codimension two Chow group are described in this paper as well as their connection to other well known conjectures in arithmetic geometry (Tate-Conjecture, Beilinson-Conjecture, Bloch-Kato-Conjecture).
