If \(X\) is a smooth projective variety over \(\mathbb C\) there are several natural filtrations of \(H^n(X,\mathbb Q)\). The first two are the arithmetic filtrations \(F^*_a\) (\(F^r_aH^n(X,\mathbb Q)\) is defined as the linear span of the set of cohomology classes supported on algebraic subvarieties of \(X\) of codimension \(\geq r\)), and the Hodge filtration (defined by \(F^rH^n(X,\mathbb C)=\bigoplus_{p+q=n, p\geq r}H^{p,q}(X)\) and \(F^r_{\mathbb Q}H^n(X,\mathbb Q)=F^rH^n(X,\mathbb C)\cap H^n(X,\mathbb Q)\)). Recently, \textit{E. M. Friedlander} and \textit{B. Mazur} [``Filtrations on the homology of algebraic varieties'', Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 529 (1994; Zbl 0841.14019)] introduced two new filtrations, the topological filtration and the correspondence filtration on the homology of a complex projective variety \(X\), which actually coincide if \(X\) is smooth. The aim of the paper under review is to examine the relationship between these filtrations, with special reference to abelian varieties. Several famous conjectures concerning these filtrations (especially the generalized Hodge conjecture) turn out to be true for a list of abelian varieties (which is actually the main contribution of this paper).
