In this article, 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 Néron–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 for the Albanese cokernel; the abelian group on the ‘local side’ turns out to be a finite group.
