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 ...

Motives based on Hodge cycles vs algebraic cycles
I am not a specialist of motives. I am afraid my questions are rather naive.

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 ...
