On the Chow group of the product of two curves
Abstract:- A small result on the Chow group of zero cycles of the
product of two curves will be discussed. The base field will be
algebraically closed of positive transcendence degree. Prerequisites
for the talk are: A basic understanding of the algebraic geometry of
curves and surfaces over a field. This includes the language of
schemes. Although the only schemes which appear will be varieties over
fields, we deal with these in ways which are not easily described
without the language of schemes. We won't have time to cover background
material on schemes. Also one must have some acquaintance
with intersection theory on a smooth projective surface and with the
group of divisor classes. The talk may be accessible to graduate students
who have had at least one course specifically on algebraic geometry.
(A course on Riemann surfaces is not sufficient background.)
