Motivic decomposition of anisotropic varieties of type F_4 into generalized Rost motives
This an extended version of the previous preprint dated by February 2005. We prove that the Chow motive of an anisotropic projective homogeneous variety of type F4 is isomorphic to the direct sum of twisted copies of a generalized Rost motive. In particular, we provide an explicit construction of a generalized Rost motive for a generically splitting variety for a symbol in K_3^M(k)/3. We also establish a motivic isomorphism between two anisotropic non-isomorphic projective homogeneous varieties of type F4. All our results hold for Chow motives with integral coefficients.

Zero-cycles on a twisted Cayley plane
This is an essentially extended version of the preprint dated by August 2005 (this includes now the varieties of types F_4, E_6 and E_7). Let k be a field of characteristic not 2 and 3. Let G be an exceptional simple algebraic group of type F_4, inner type E_6 or E_7 with trivial Tits algebras. Let X be a projective G-homogeneous variety. If G is of type E_7 we assume in addition that the respective parabolic subgroup is of type P_7. The main result of the paper says that the degree map on the group of zero cycles of X is injective.

Chow motives of twisted flag varieties
Let G be an adjoint simple algebraic group of inner type. We express the Chow motive (with integral coefficients) of some anisotropic projective G-homogeneous varieties in terms of motives of simpler G-homogeneous varieties, namely, those that correspond to maximal parabolic subgroups of G. We decompose the motive of a generalized Severi-Brauer variety SB_2(A), where A is a division algebra of degree 5, into a direct sum of two indecomposable motives. As an application we provide another counter-example to the uniqueness of a direct sum decomposition in the category of motives with integral coefficients.

On classification of projective homogeneous varieties up to motivic isomorphism
We give a complete classification of anisotropic projective homogeneous varieties of dimension less than 6 up to motivic isomorphism. We give several criteria for anisotropic flag varieties of type A_n to have isomorphic motives.

Oriented Cohomology and Motivic Decompositions of Relative Cellular Spaces
For an oriented cohomology theory A and a relative cellular space X, we decompose the A-motive of X into a direct sum of twisted motives of the base spaces. We also obtain respective decompositions of the A-cohomology of X. Applying them, one can compute A(X), where X is an isotropic projective homogeneous variety and A means algebraic K-theory, motivic cohomology or algebraic cobordism MGL.

On the norm principle for quadratic forms
We prove a version of Knebusch's Norm Principle for finite étale extensions of semi-local Noetherian domains with infinite residue fields of characteristic different from 2. As an application we prove Grothendieck's conjecture on principal homogeneous spaces for the spinor group of a quadratic space.

On Knebusch's Norm Principle for quadratic forms over semi-local rings
We prove the version of Knebusch's Norm principle for simple extensions of (semi-)local rings. As an application we prove the Grothedieck-Serre's conjecture on principal homogeneous spaces for the split case of the spinor group.

Variations on the Bloch-Ogus Theorem
In the present paper we discuss questions concerning the arithmetic resolution for etale cohomology. Namely, consider a smooth quasi-projective variety X over a field k together with the local scheme U at a point x. Let Y be a smooth proper scheme over U. We prove there is the Gersten-type exact sequence for etale cohomology with coefficients in a locally constant etale sheaf F of Z/nZ-modules on Y which has finite stalks and (n,char(k))=1.
