Near-rationality properties of norm varieties
Anand Sawant (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research)
Abstract: The standard norm varieties played a crucial role in Voevodsky's proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. I will discuss various near-rationality concepts for smooth projective varieties and describe known near-rationality results for standard norm varieties. I will then outline an argument showing that a standard norm variety over a field of characteristic 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.
