By adapting the examples of Benoist--Ottem to the $\\ell$-adic context, we show that the two filtrations differ over any algebraically closed field of characteristic not $2$. When the base field $\\mathbb{F}$ is finite, we show that the equality of the two filtrations over the algebraic closure $\\overline{\\mathbb{F}}$ has some consequences for algebraic equivalence for codimension-$2$ cycles over $\\mathbb{F}$. As an application, we prove that the third unramified cohomology group $H^{3}_{\\text{nr}}(X,\\mathbb{Q}_{\\ell}/\\mathbb{Z}_{\\ell})$ vanishes for a large class of rationally chain connected threefolds $X$ over $\\mathbb{F}$, confirming a conjecture of Colliot-Th\\'el\\`ene and Kahn.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-17T18:58:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C25", "14G15", "55R35" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic equivalence", "finite fields", "strong coniveau filtrations", "third unramified cohomology group", "large class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
