Jun 28 at 12:14 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar If $X\to Y$ is a morphism of smooth projective schemes over $k$, then you get $Alb(X) \to Alb(Y)$ and $Alb(Y)\to Alb(X)$ as naf explains. So, if you have a correspondence $Z\to X, Z\to Y$, then you get a triangle of morphisms, hence a morphism from $Alb(X)$ to $Alb(Y)$.
Jun 28 at 1:37 comment added naf Yes, one does get an induced morphism on Albanese varieties. It might be easier to see this using the description of the Albanese variety as the dual of the Picard variety: by basic intersection theory one has a map (in the opposite direction) on Picard groups over any extension of $k$. This is enough to get the morphism.

R.van Dobben de Bruyn made me realize to phrase question more carefully
Jun 21 at 18:12 comment added curious math guy @R.vanDobbendeBruyn I do mean to ask whether a correspondence from $X$ to $Y$ induces a morphism between the Albanese. Doesn't a correspondence induce a Galois-equivariant morphism of the $H^1$ which then (by Tate) induces a morphism in the isogeny category between the Albanese? (although this seems to work for elliptic curves and Albanese). Does this make sense?
Jun 21 at 16:36 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Sorry, why does a correspondence give a morphism in the curve case? If $X$ and $Y$ are both elliptic curves, there are many correspondences that are not morphisms. Or do you mean whether a correspondence from $X$ to $Y$ induces a correspondence from $\operatorname{Alb}(X)$ to $\operatorname{Alb}(Y)$?
