DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ZAG/142/">Ne
 ar-rationality properties of norm varieties</a>\nby Anand Sawant (Tata Ins
 titute of Fundamental Research) as part of ZAG (Zoom Algebraic Geometry) s
 eminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe standard norm varieties played a crucial role in
  Voevodsky's proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture.  I will discuss various n
 ear-rationality concepts for smooth projective varieties and describe know
 n near-rationality results for standard norm varieties.  I will then outli
 ne an argument showing that a standard norm variety over a field of charac
 teristic 0 is universally R-trivial after passing to the algebraic closure
  of the base field.  The talk is based on joint work with Chetan Balwe and
  Amit Hogadi.\n
