Divided powers on abelian varieties

Abstract

We prove the existence of divided powers in étale Chow groups of abelian varieties over a separably closed field, and hence of an integral lift of the Fourier transform, away from the characteristic and up to $2$-torsion. The method is to lift the Deninger-Murre Chow-Künneth projectors to integral ones, and draw consequences. Several techniques used here are new.
