Noether-Lefschetz theory with base locus (Q743951)

Let \(Z\) be a closed subscheme of a smooth complex variety \(Y \subset \mathbb{P}^N\) of dimension \(\dim Y=2r+1\). The authors describe the image of the cycle map \(A_r(X) \to H_{2r}(X,\mathbb{Z})\) of a general smooth hypersurface \(X \subset Y\) of large degree containing \(Z\). The introduction of the paper contains a very useful description of the rather long history of this beautiful subject.
