TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the elementary obstruction to the existence of 0-cycles of degree 1 on an arbitrary variety X, over an arbitrary field, can be expressed in terms of the Albanese 1-motives associated with dense open subsets of X.
Abstract
We show that the elementary obstruction to the existence of 0-cycles of degree 1 on an arbitrary variety X, over an arbitrary field, can be expressed in terms of the Albanese 1-motives associated with dense open subsets of X. Arithmetic applications are given.

Some structure theorems for algebraic groups

Michel Brion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present structure results for group schemes of finite type over a field, with applications to Picard varieties and automorphism groups, and present extended notes of a course given at Tulane University for the 2015 Clifford Lectures.

The elementary obstruction and homogeneous spaces

TL;DR: In this article, Brauer et al. consider a k-variete X geometriquement integre, on note k(X) le corps des fonctions de X=X×kk, where X possede un k-point lisse, le plongement naturel de groupes multiplicatifs k*↪k(X)* admet une retraction equivariante for l'action du groupe de Galois de k sur k.

Anti-affine algebraic groups

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an algebraic group G over a field is anti-affine if every regular function on G is constant, and a classification of these groups was obtained, with applications to the structure of algebraic groups in positive characteristics.

Rational Curves on Algebraic Varieties

TL;DR: It is shown here how the model derived recently in [Bouchut-Boyaval, M3AS (23) 2013] can be modified for flows on rugous topographies varying around an inclined plane.
