For a smooth projective varietyXover an algebraic number fieldka conjecture of Bloch and Beilinson predicts that the kernel of the Albanese map ofXis a torsion group. In this article we consider a product$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$of smooth projective curves and show that if the conjecture is true for any subproduct of two curves, then it is true forX. For a product$$X=C_1\times C_2$$$X=C_1\times C_2$of two curves over$$\mathbb {Q} $$$Q$with positive genus we construct many nontrivial examples that satisfy the weaker property that the image of the natural map$$J_1(\mathbb {Q})\otimes J_2(\mathbb {Q})\xrightarrow {\varepsilon }{{\,\textrm{CH}\,}}_0(C_1\times C_2)$$$J_1\left(Q\right)\otimes J_2\left(Q\right)\stackrel{\epsilon }{\to }{\text{CH}}_0(C_1\times C_2)$is finite, where$$J_i$$$J_i$is the Jacobian variety of$$C_i$$$C_i$. Our constructions include many new examples of non-isogenous pairs of elliptic curves$$E_1, E_2$$$E_1,E_2$with positive rank, including the first known examples of rank greater than 1. Combining these constructions with our previous result, we obtain infinitely many nontrivial products$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$for which the analogous map$$\varepsilon $$$\epsilon$has finite image.

 

Abstract We consider a product $X=E_1\times \cdots \times E_d$ of elliptic curves over a finite extension $K$ of ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ with a combination of good or split multiplicative reduction. We assume that at most one of the elliptic curves has supersingular reduction. Under these assumptions, we prove that the Albanese kernel of $X$ is the direct sum of a finite group and a divisible group, extending work by Raskind and Spiess to cases that include supersingular phenomena. Our method involves studying the kernel of the cycle map $CH_0(X)/p^n\rightarrow H^{2d}_{\acute{\textrm{e}}\textrm{t}}(X, \mu _{p^n}^{\otimes d})$. We give specific criteria that guarantee this map is injective for every $n\geq 1$. When all curves have good ordinary reduction, we show that it suffices to extend to a specific finite extension $L$ of $K$ for these criteria to be satisfied. This extends previous work by Yamazaki and Hiranouchi.
