Algebraic cobordism and flag varieties

Abstract

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $k$ such that $\bar X=X\otimes_k\bar k$ is cellular. We study torsion elements in the Chow ring $CH^*(X)$ which corresponds to $v_iy$ in the algebraic cobordism $\Omega^*(\bar X)$ where $0\not=y\in CH^*(\bar X)/p$ and $v_i$ is the generator of $BP^*$ with $|v_i|=-2(p^i-1).$ In particular, we try to compute $CH^*(X)$ from $\Omega^*(\bar X)$ when $X$ are twisted complete flag varieties.
