Reference for facts used in Bloch, "Algebraic cycles and L-functions II"

The proof of lemma 1.1 in [1] does not give references for a few statements it uses. In the setting of the proof, $X$ is a smooth projective variety over a number field $k$ with a fixed embedding to $\...

A Galois equivariant Weil cohomology theory with coefficients in the rational numbers and a variation of the Tate/Hodge conjecture

A well-known example of Serre shows that there can be no Weil cohomology theory with $\mathbb Q$ coefficients for schemes over $\mathbb F_{p^2}$. However, this example is no obstruction to a Weil ...

Boundedness indices in Voevodsky's smash nilpotence conjecture in family

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. Voevodsky introduced the following notion : an algebraic cycle $Z$ in $X$ is smash nilpotent if there exist $N>0$ such ...

Motives based on Hodge cycles vs algebraic cycles

I am not a specialist of motives. I am afraid my questions are rather naive. We have the category of (pure) motives based on Hodge cycles by Deligne. In his articles with Milne, morphisms between ...

On Grothendieck's idea on his Standard Conjecture B

Let me recall the Standard Conjecture B (see [1,2] below): The $\Lambda$-operation of Hodge theory is algebraic. It more or less says that the partial inverse to “cupping with the class of a ...
