Jun 22, 2010 at 23:32 comment added T.. Fantastic answer from Donu. Many thanks. In the case where the variety is smooth, projective and defined over a number field, is it presently unknown whether the (pure) Hodge structure can be defined algebraically?

Jun 19, 2010 at 1:39 comment added Deane Yang I agree with the suggestion of starting with Riemann surfaces. The higher dimensional proof is more technical and involved, but involves no essential new ideas.

Jun 18, 2010 at 19:06 comment added Donu Arapura I guess Kevin Lin answered the question, but the existence of a (mixed) Hodge structure on cohomology cannot be proved by pure algebra at present.

Jun 18, 2010 at 7:17 comment added Konrad Voelkel You can, however, use Hironaka and Hodge theory for compact complex algebraic varieties to get a mixed hodge structure on the cohomology of noncompact singular complex varieties :-)
Jun 17, 2010 at 20:43 comment added Kevin H. Lin @Boyarsky: I think you are correct. I think Hodge decomposition does not follow from degeneration. I think there is no purely algebraic proof of Hodge decomposition...
Jun 17, 2010 at 18:42 comment added Boyarsky @Donu: so does your final paragraph mean that getting decomposition from degeneration isn't evident to you either (as it is not to me)?
