This page was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 9 March 2018 with a consensus to merge the content into the page Chow group. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the page for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use the destination page's talk page.

The basic question was whether there is a cycle map:

${\displaystyle A^{*}(X)\to \operatorname {H} ^{*}(X,\mathbb {Z} ).}$

If X is smooth, such a map exists since ${\displaystyle A^{*}(X)}$ is the usual Chow ring of X. (Totaro 2014) harv error: no target: CITEREFTotaro2014 (help) has shown that rationally there is no such a map with good properties even if X is a linear variety, roughly a variety admitting a cell decomposition. He also notes that Voevodsky’s motivic cohomology ring is "probably more useful " than the operational Chow ring for a singular scheme (§ 8 of loc. cit.)
