Type Construction and Cycle Detection

We prove a structural result about the space of one cycles of a separably rationally connected variety or a separably rationally connected fibration over a curve, either as a topological group or as an h-sheaf. This has the following consequences: a proof that the strong coniveau filtration agrees with the coniveau filtration on degree 3 homology, and a result on the integral Tate conjecture for homologically trivial one cycles.
