Abstract:
Let be a smooth projective variety of dimension at most 4 defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic . It is shown that the Tate conjecture implies the surjectivity of the -adic Abel-Jacobi map, , for all and almost all . For a special class of threefolds the surjectivity of is proved without assuming any conjectures.
