On the standard conjecture for complex Abelian schemes over smooth projective curves

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be a smooth projective variety of dimension \(d\) over the field of complex numbers. In regard of the various cohomology theories for \(X\), there are three famous classical conjectures: the Hodge conjecture, the Grothendieck standard conjecture, and the Tate conjecture. It is well known that, especially for abelian varieties, these three fundamental conjectures are closely related to each other, and some implications among them have been proved in special cases. In the paper under review, the author derives some further results concerning the interrelation of these conjectures and their geometric interpretations. First, an earlier approach by \textit{Y. André} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 83, 5--49 (1996; Zbl 0874.14010)] is extended, culminating in a reduction of the Hodge conjecture for abelian schemes to the question of the existence of an algebraic isomorphism \[ H^2(C, R^{2d-i}\pi_*\mathbb{Q}) \widetilde\rightarrow H^0(C, R^i\pi_*\mathbb{Q}) \] for all \(i\geq 2\) and all families \(\pi: X\to C\) of principally polarized complex abelian schemes of relative dimension \(d\) over nonsingular projective curves. Moreover, it is shown that, if some canonically defined Hodge cycles in \(H^0(C, R^i\pi_*\mathbb{Q})\otimes H^0(C, R^i\pi_*\mathbb{Q})\) are algebraic for all integers \(i\geq 2\), then the Grothendieck standard conjecture holds for the scheme \(X\). Using this, the validity of the Grothendieck standard conjecture [\textit{A. Grothendieck}, Algebr. Geom., Bombay Colloq. 1968, 193--199 (1969; Zbl 0201.23301)] is finally established for an abelian scheme \(X@>\pi>> C\) under the assumption that the Hodge group of the generic geometric fibre is a simple algebraic group of a certain type. In particular, this assumption holds if \(\text{End}(X_s)=\mathbb{Z}\) for some geometric fibre \(X_s\) and \(d\) is a non-exeptional dimension (e.g.,if \(d\) is an odd number). This very thorough and detailed paper, subdivided into eleven sections, provides a major contribution towards a better understanding of the great classical conjectures for abelian varieties. The important new results are derived in a very complete, rigorous and lucid manner, and the entire paper may even serve as a profound introduction to the fascinating area of the celebrated conjectures on algebraic cycles on (abelian) varieties.
