On the $p$-primary and $p$-adic cases of the Isotropy Conjecture

The purpose of this note is to show that, in contrast to the ${\Bbb F}_p$-case (proven in [7]), the $p$-primary and $p$-adic cases of the Isotropy Conjecture, claiming that the isotropic Chow groups with ${\Bbb Z}/p^r$, $r>1$, respectively, with ${\Bbb Z}_p$-coefficients over a flexible field coincide with the numerical ones, don't hold. We show that the $BP$-theory with $I(\infty)$-primary, respectively, $I(\infty)$-adic coefficients may serve as a regular substitute for $p$-primary, respectively, $p$-adic Chow groups, which permits to extend the results of [6] to arbitrary primes.
