Rational equivalence of cusps

Shouhei Ma

Vol. 5 (2020), No. 3, 395–410
Abstract

We prove that two cusps of the same dimension in the Baily–Borel compactification of some classical series of modular varieties are linearly dependent in the rational Chow group of the compactification. This gives a higher dimensional analogue of the Manin–Drinfeld theorem. As a consequence, we obtain a higher dimensional generalization of modular units as higher Chow cycles on the modular variety.
