On the standard conjecture for a 3-dimensional variety fibered over a surface (Q2314133)

In this short communication, the author announces that the Grothendieck standard conjecture of Lefschetz type holds true for a certain type of algebraic threefold. The conjecture is known to hold for all smooth complex projective curves, surfaces, abelian varieties, and threefolds of Kodaira dimension \(\kappa(X)<3\). The present article contributes to give an important example of threefold with \(\kappa(X)=3\) for which the conjecture holds. A precise statement is as follows: Let \(\pi:X\rightarrow S\) be a projective morphism of a smooth threefold onto a smooth projective surface. Assume that \(\pi\) has a section and \(\mathrm{End}(\mathrm{Pic}^0(X_s))=\mathbb{Z}\) for some closed smooth fiber \(X_s\). If, for some nonempty open subset \(U\subset S\), the morphism \(\pi|_{\pi^{-1}(U)}:\pi^{-1}(U)\rightarrow U\) is smooth and the rank of the Kodaira-Spencer map of the tangent space of the surface at any point \(u\in U\) equals \(1\), then the conjecture is true.
