Albanese varieties with modulus and Hodge theory (Q441320)

Let \(X\) be a proper smooth variety over \(\mathbb{C}\) of dimension \(n\) and let \(Y\) be an effective divisor on \(X\). Let \(I\) be the ideal of \(\mathcal{O}_X\) which defines \(Y\), let \(I_1\) be the ideal of \(\mathcal{O}_X\) which defines the reduced part of \(Y\), and let \(J=II_1^{-1}\). Let \(\mathcal{D}_{X,Y}(r)\) denote the kernel of the surjective homomorphism of the Deligne complexes \(\mathcal{D}_X(r)\rightarrow\mathcal{D}_Y(r)\). In this paper the authors introduce a generalized Albanese variety \(\text{Alb}(X,Y)\) of \(X\) of modulus \(Y\) and shows that it fits into the two exact sequences \(0\rightarrow \text{Alb}(X,Y)\rightarrow H^{2n}(X,\mathcal{D}_{X,Y}(n))\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow 0\), and \(H^{n-1}(X,{\Omega}_X^n)\rightarrow H_c^{2n-1}(X-Y,\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}(n))\bigoplus H^{n-1}(X,{\Omega}_X^n/J{\Omega}_X^n)\rightarrow \text{Alb}(X,Y)\rightarrow 0\). Furthermore they notice that in case \(Y=0\) these become the usual presentations of the Albanese variety \(\text{Alb}(X)\).
