Hodge conjecture for cubic 8-folds (Q1813229)

Let \(X\) be a cubic hypersurface in \(\mathbb{P}^ 9\), i.e., a cubic 8-fold, and let \(B(X)\) be the variety (in Grass (4,10)) of 3-dimensional linear subspaces in \(\mathbb{P}^ 9\) contained in \(X\). Then \(\dim(B(X))\geq4\), and \(B(X)\) is a smooth 4-fold if \(X\) is generic. The author shows that if \(B(X)\) is smooth then the Hodge conjecture for codimension 4 holds, i.e., the intersection \(H^ 8(X,\mathbb{Q})\cap H^{4,4}(X)\) in \(H^ 8(X,\mathbb{C})=\oplus_{i+j=8}H^{i,j}(X)\) is generated by algebraic cycles of codimension 4.
