Abstract

We prove that the function field of a variety which possesses a special correspondence in the sense of M. Rost preserves rationality of cycles of small codimensions. This fact was proven by Vishik in the case of quadrics and played the crucial role in his construction of fields with u-invariant 2r + 1. The main technical tools are the algebraic cobordism of Levine-Morel, the generalised degree formula and the divisibility of Chow traces of certain Landweber-Novikov operations. As a direct application of our methods we prove the similar fact for all F4-varieties.
