Algebraic Cycles and Motives Volume 2 [Paperback]

A self-contained account of the subject of algebraic cycles and motives as it stands.These two volumes provide a self-contained account of research on algebraic cycles and motives. Twenty-two contributions from leading figures survey the key research strands, including: Abel-Jacobi/regulator maps and normal functions; Voevodsky's triangulated category of mixed motives; conjectures of Bloch-Beilinson and Murre on filtrations on Chow groups.These two volumes provide a self-contained account of research on algebraic cycles and motives. Twenty-two contributions from leading figures survey the key research strands, including: Abel-Jacobi/regulator maps and normal functions; Voevodsky's triangulated category of mixed motives; conjectures of Bloch-Beilinson and Murre on filtrations on Chow groups.Algebraic geometry is a central subfield of mathematics in which the study of cycles is an important theme. Alexander Grothendieck taught that algebraic cycles should be considered from a motivic point of view and in recent years this topic has spurred a lot of activity. This book is one of two volumes that provide a self-contained account of the subject as it stands. Together, the two books contain twenty-two contributions from leading figures in the field which survey the key research strands and present interesting new results. Topics discussed include: the study of algebraic cycles using Abel-Jacobi/regulator maps and normal functions; motives (Voevodsky's triangulated category of mixed motives, finite-dimensional motives); the conjectures of Bloch-Beilinson and Murre on filtrations on Chow groups and Bloch's conjecture. Researchers and students in complex algebraic geometry and arithmetic geometry will find much of interest here.Part II. Research Articles: 8. Beilinson's Hodge conjecture with coefficients M.
