The co-radical filtration on the Chow group of zero-cycles on hyper-Kähler varieties

I will discuss an ascending filtration on the Chow group of zero-cycles on a smooth projective variety obtained roughly by considering the successive kernels of the iterates of some modified diagonal embedding of the variety. This filtration is particularly relevant in the case of abelian varieties and of hyper-Kähler varieties, where it is expected to be opposite to the conjectural Bloch-Beilinson filtration. In the case of abelian varieties, it can in fact be described explicitly in terms of the Beauville decomposition, while in the case of hyper-Kähler varieties, I conjecture (and prove in some cases) that it coincides with a filtration introduced earlier by Claire Voisin. As a by-product we obtain in joint work with Olivier Martin a criterion involving second Chern classes for two effective zero-cycles on a moduli space of stable objects on a K3 surface to be rationally equivalent, generalising a result of Marian-Zhao.
