  • Classical descent theory of Colliot-Thélène and Sansuc for rational points tells that, over a smooth variety $X$, the algebraic Brauer--Manin subset equals the descent obstruction subset defined by a universal torsor. Moreover, Harari shows that the Brauer--Manin subset equals the descent obstruction subset defined by torsors under connected linear groups. By using the abelian cohomology theory by Borovoi, we define abelianized descent obstructions for 0-cycles by torsors under connected linear groups. As an analogy, we show the equality between the Brauer--Manin obstruction and the abelianized descent obstruction for 0-cycles. We also show that the abelianized descent obstruction is the closure of the descent obstruction defined by Balestrieri and Berg when $X$ is a projective rationally connected variety or a projective K3 surface.
