We prove that if K is large enough then X contains many rational curves defined over K. As a consequence we prove that R-equivalence is trivial on X if K is large enough. These imply that if Y is defined over a local field and it has good, separably rationally connected reduction then the Chow group of zero cycles is trivial for any residue field. R-equivalence is also trivial if the residue field is large enough.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-12-02T17:59:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14G15", "14J20", "14M20", "14C15", "14G20" ], "keywords": [ "rationally connected varieties", "finite field", "residue field", "local field", "rational curves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......3220K" } } }
