Title:
Title: Geometry of the Abel-Jacobi map and stable birational invariants

Speaker:
Claire Voisin

Abstract:
The Chow group of codimension 2 cycles homologous to 0 on a rationally connected manifold is known to be isomorphic to the corresponding intermediate Jacobian, as it is for divisors of any smooth projective variety. However, the geometry of the Abel-Jacobi map may differ from that of divisors, and contain some obstruction to stable rationality, for example, there may not exist a universal codimension 2
