Standard Conjectures On Algebraic Cycles - Lefschetz Type Standard Conjecture

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:

    “A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.”
    —Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

    “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)
