A Pierre Deligne, a l ’occasion de son 60-i`me anniversaire, ` e en t´moignage de profonde admiration e Abstract If V is a smooth projective variety defined over a local field K with fi¯ nite residue field, so that its ´tale cohomology over the algebraic closure K is e supported in codimension 1, then the mod p reduction of a projective regular model carries a rational point. As a consequence, if the Chow group of 0-cycles of V over a large algebraically closed field is trivial, then the mod p reduction of a projective regular model carries a rational.
