We observe that derived equivalent K3 surfaces have isomorphic Chow motives. The result holds more generally for arbitrary surfaces, as pointed out by Charles Vial.

Notes

  1. For K3 surfaces the isomorphism is indeed between integral Chow groups, but this is not true for other types of varieties.

  2. or, weaker, in \(K_0(\mathrm{Var}(k))/(\ell )\) which in characteristic zero is isomorphic to the Grothendieck ring of stable birational classes of smooth projective varieties \({\mathbb {Z}}[\mathrm{SB}(k)]\), see [18].
