Lefschetz type standard conjecture, also called conjecture B: One of the axioms of a Weil theory is the so-called hard Lefschetz theorem (or axiom): for a fixed smooth hyperplane section
- W = H ∩ X,
for H some hyperplane in the ambient projective space PN containing the given smooth projective variety X, the Lefschetz operator
- L : Hi(X) → Hi+2,
which is defined by intersecting cohomology classes with W gives an isomorphism
- Ln-i: Hi(X) → H2n-i(X) (i ≦ n = dim X).
Define
- Λ : Hi(X) → Hi-2(X) for 'i ≦ n
be the composition
- (Ln-i+2)-1 (Ln-i)
and
- Λ : H2n-i+2(X) → H2n-i(X)
by
- (Ln-i) (Ln-i+2)-1.
The Lefschetz conjecture states that the Lefschetz operator Λ is induced by an algebraic cycle.

Famous quotes containing the words type, standard and/or conjecture:
“They had supposed their formula was fixed.
They had obeyed instructions to devise
A type of cold, a type of hooded gaze.
But when the Negroes came they were perplexed.
These Negroes looked like men....”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
