Zero-cycles on varieties over p-adic fields and Brauer groups

In this paper, we study the Brauer-Manin pairing of smooth proper varieties over local fields, and determine the $p$-adic part of the kernel of one side. We also compute the $A_0$ of a potentially rational surface which splits over a wildly ramified extension.Comment: 31 pages. The proof of the main result in the local case has been much simplified. The computations of 0-cycles on cubic surfaces have been modifie

Torsion birational motives of surfaces and unramified cohomology

Let $S$ and $T$ be smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field. Suppose that $S$ is a surface admitting a decomposition of the diagonal. We show that, away from the characteristic of $k$, if an algebraic correspondence $T \to S$ acts trivially on the unramified cohomology, then it acts trivially on any normalized, birational, and motivic functor. This generalizes Kahn's result on the torsion order of $S$. We also exhibit an example of $S$ over $\mathbb{C}$ for which $S \times S$ violates the integral Hodge conjecture.Comment: 25 page
