Pull-back of algebraic cycles under holomorphic maps
Let $f:X \to Y$ be a holomorphic map between two smooth complex projective manifolds. Is there a good notion of pull-back of algebraic cycles by $f$ which preserves degree in the f …

Why does a homologically trivial cycle have trivial projections?
Let $X$ be a smooth curve over a field. Let $Y$ be the triple product $X \times X \times X$. Let $\gamma$ be a homologically trivial codimension $2$ cycle.
In the text [Zhang, p. …

Is there a functor of points approach to algebraic cycles and intersection theory?
Motivation
Most of the algebraic geometry I have done so far was concerned with group schemes (e.g., abelian schemes, tori, unipotent groups). In that part of the field the "funct …

Homological equivalence in $\mathbb{P}^3$ [closed]
Is it true that any smooth irreducible curve in $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$ is homologically equivalent to a union of lines in $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$? If so, can we say something …

Why do people think that abelian varieties are the hardest case for the Hodge conjecture?
Today, I heard that people think that if you can prove the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties, then it should be true in general. Apparently this case is important enough (and …

Degree zero zero-cycles on the square of a curve
A well-known mathematician once explained the following conjecture to me, as "an example of how little we know about cycles of codimension $\geq 2$." Let $C$ be a curve defined ov …

Obstructions to descend Galois invariant cycles
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $F$, and $E/F$ - finite Galois extension.
There is an extension of scalars map $CH^*(X) \to CH^*(X_E)$. The image lands in the Galois in …

Explain the relation between $K_0$ and morphisms of Chow motives
The Chern class yields an isomorphism $K_0(X)\otimes \mathbb Q\cong \bigoplus_{i\ge 0} Chow^i(X)\otimes \mathbb Q$ (for a smooth variety $X$ over a field?), whereas the latter grou …

When the class of a complex is necessarily equi-dimensional
Let $P$ be a smooth projective variety. For an object $X$ of $D_{perf}(P)$ (i.e. a bounded perfect complex of $\mathfrak{O}_P$-module sheaves) we consider its class $[X]$ in $K_0(P …

What is the Exceptional Locus of a flopping contraction between threefolds?
Hi,
I'm trying to understand the group of cycles (modulo numerical equivalence) contracted by a flopping contraction $f$.
More precisely, I'm in the setup of Definition 2.12 of t …
