Theorem · version 2

Hodge would algebraize inverse Lefschetz maps

Statement

For smooth projective X/C of dimension d, an ample hyperplane class η, and 0 ≤ p ≤ d, assume rational Hodge on X×X in codimension d−p. Then the inverse of η^p: H^{d−p}(X,Q) → H^{d+p}(X,Q) is induced by a rational algebraic correspondence of codimension d−p on X×X.

Assumptions

  • X smooth projective over C and η an ample hyperplane class.
  • Hodge conjecture on X×X in the specified codimension.

Scope

A proved implication for the Lefschetz standard-conjecture classes in characteristic zero; no assertion in arbitrary positive characteristic follows.

Conditional implication · Proved

Source-grounded deduction from Deligne §4 Example 2 and the conjecture’s cycle-class surjectivity. Hard Lefschetz itself is already a theorem.

Scope: Inverse Lefschetz isomorphisms would be induced by cycles, under Hodge on the product.

Limit: The premise must cover X×X in the specified codimension. General cycle construction is still missing.

A consequence under an open premise, not an additional resolved part of that premise.

Relationship not independently reviewed. This concerns its use in this problem.
