Abstract

In this paper, we prove Roitman's theorem regarding torsion 0-cycles for singular projective varieties over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic, for torsion which is of exponent prime to the characteristic. This generalizes earlier results for complex projective varieties. Our proof even in that case is different from the earlier ones.
