Abstract

We characterize universally generalizing morphisms which satisfy descent of algebraic cycles as those which are surjective with generically reduced fibres. In doing so, we introduce a naive pullback of cycles for arbitrary morphisms between noetherian schemes, which generalizes the classical pullback for flat morphisms, and then prove basic properties of this naive pullback.
