Abstract:
Given a smooth projective variety $X$ over a field, consider the $\mathbb Q$-vector space $Z_0(X)$ of 0-cycles (that is, formal finite $\mathbb Q$-linear combinations of closed points of $X$) as a module over the algebra of finite correspondences. Then the rationally trivial 0-cycles on $X$ form an absolutely simple and essential submodule of $Z_0(X)$.
