From the MR review:
"In this article the authors give methods to compute the Chow groups of schemes provided with
a 'sufficiently nice filtration'. Their result has the useful corollary that the Chow groups of
a scheme having a cellular decomposition are free with basis [the classes of] the closures of the cells.
These results will be most useful in enumerative geometry, where one often encounters schemes with
such decompositions. Indeed, the authors give some nice examples with schemes such as
U = Hilb3P2 − Al3P2.
Here Hilb3P2 is the Hilbert scheme parameterizing triples of points in
P2 and Al3P2 is the subscheme of collinear
triples ('Al' stands for 'aligné', which is the French for 'collinear'). If we set
U' = Hilb3Pn - Al3Pn
and let Gr(2,n) be the Grassmannian of 2-planes in Pn,
then there is a map U' → Gr(2,n) which sends a triple of noncollinear points to the
unique plane which contains them. This map is locally trivial with fibre U. The authors' results
do not quite suffice to compute the Chow groups of U' but they can compute the ranks of these
groups and hence the Betti numbers of U'."
