A higher dimensional generalization of Lichtenbaum duality in terms of the Albanese map

Abstract

We present a conjectural formula describing the cokernel of the Albanese map of zero-cycles of smooth projective varieties $X$ over $p$-adic fields in terms of the N\'eron-Severi group and provide a proof under additional assumptions on an integral model of $X$. The proof depends on a non-degeneracy result of Brauer-Manin pairing due to Saito-Sato and on Gabber-de Jong's comparison result of cohomological- and Azumaya-Brauer groups. We will also mention the local-global problem of the Albanese-cokernel; the abelian group on the "local side" turns out to be a finite group.
