Chow forms and Hodge cohomology classes (Q2449602)

The present paper is a natural sequel in a series of publications by the author. The theme centers around the method of studying the geometry of cycles on a projective manifold \(X\) by means of their Chow transforms. In this manner the transform of a cycle becomes a divisor in a Grassmannian, and moreover one has also an integral transformation for currents on \(X\), which extends the one for effective cycles. \newline We find here results connected with the Hodge conjecture, they are the continuation of the paper [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 348, No. 11--12, 625--628 (2010; Zbl 1194.14015)]. More specifically, the author's summary reads: ``We prove that a closed differential form of bidimension \((p,p)\) on a projective manifold is cohomologous to an algebraic cycle with complex coefficients if and only if it is a weak limit of such cycles. This allows us to approach the problem of the algebraicity of cohomology classes. Using the characterization of currents associated with algebraic cycles by the Chow transform, the obstructions are reduced to an orthogonality condition with certain smooth functions on the Grassmannian, which are in general merely images of distributions by a suitable explicitly defined linear differential operator. These distributions are of order less than \(k\). This forces a convergence in the space of \(\mathcal C^k \) functions, which is achieved, when the cohomology class is rational, thanks to the constructibility of the Bernstein polynomial.''
