The Leray spectral sequence is motivic (Q1780824)

The main objective of the paper is to establish the compatibility of the Leray spectral sequence with mixed Hodge structures or motives in Nori's sense. The author first shows the compatibility of the spectral sequence associated to a filtration by subvarieties. Then he identifies the Leray spectral sequence with such a spectral sequence associated to a suitable filtration. As an application the author computes the intermediate Jacobian \(J^2(X)\) of a smooth projective threefold \(X\) over \(\mathbb{C}\) with a flat map \(f: X \to S\) such that the fibers are connected rational curves, hence, generalizing the usual description for conic bundles.
