Nov 22, 2011 at 19:36 comment added Calc Thank you very much, your examples are both very nice and simple. The first example makes me believe that the question, as I posed it, is really wrong. This because $H^2(X \times Y)$ contains $H^1(X) \otimes H^1(Y)$, and the latters could make algebraic classes on $X \times Y$. Does this make sense?
