Abstract

We give conditions to determine if a cycle is indecomposable in the higher Chow group \(\text {CH}^{r}(X,m;\mathbb {Q})\), for X a complex smooth projective variety. We show that the primitive part of topological invariant associated with an arithmetic normal function of a cycle is related to its decomposability.

  1. As noticed by the referee, this is the case for each fibre of \(i_{*}\xi \).
