On the Chow group of zero-cycles of a generalized Kummer variety

Abstract

For a generalized Kummer variety X of dimension 2n, we will construct for each 0≤i≤n some co-isotropic subvarieties in X foliated by i-dimensional constant cycle subvarieties. These subvarieties serve to prove that the rational orbit filtration introduced by Voisin on the Chow group of zero-cycles of a generalized Kummer variety coincides with the induced Beauville decomposition from the Chow ring of abelian varieties. As a consequence, the rational orbit filtration is opposite to the conjectural Bloch–Beilinson filtration for generalized Kummer varieties.
